One of the best Baroramas yet! A sneaky reboot of the Sydney tours after COVID to test the waters... Started at Margot Osteria for delicious quick bite (a venue that Barorama founder Stefan did an interior refresh for as Swerve Design with Design Clarity), Burrow Bar for a very SOPHISTICATED cocktail experience (they'll make you anything -handy coz no ingredients listed on the cocktail menu), a BURLESQUE show at extraordinarily decadent Employees Only, then the most ridiculous PAMPERING at Dean & Nancy's on 22, thanks to Steven! Umm felt like we'd just gone overseas for a while and had 3 birthday parties in one night. FABULOUS!!

All afloat! This fabulous venue on Melbourne’s Yarra relives the floating barge venues of old like Paris’s Peniches, but this time more about Aperol Spritz than Putting on the Ritz. Obviously get early or book as its super popular on a summer day like today’s. Complete with paddling pools, fountains and more festoons and umbrellas than a festival. Fun!

Fabulous catchup with Kerry Gill and Matt reminiscing on our days working in the US together at Magic Memories. Sunset cocktails at the retro groovy Bar 83 on the top of Sydney Tower then the always theatrical Korean BBQ then Baxter’s Inn for the ultimate Whiskey nightcap.

IRH. I Remember House. Party produced by … OMG what a production. What a party. It’s as good as any of the Mardi Gras recoveries we normally have to wait all year for. Bravo!

Didn’t expect this. Randomly in Brunswick Heads for the weekend and international DJ of the moment, Fred again calls an impromptu gig at the local pub - the Brunswick Heads Hotel! Wild scenes on the street. The $10 tickets at the pop up gig sold out in a flash and at least a thousand fans more took over the streets and park on the river opposite, jumping on cars and hanging off trees. What a scene!

I’d heard about Howard Smith Wharves in BrisVegas years ago. Didn’t disappoint. What a great all-rounder of a bar & dining precinct. From Felons mega-beer house to Mr Percival’s chi-chi cocktail bar. Right on - even above - the river. Thanks, Natalie Plajbes for showing us around!

What a fab discovery. On the edge of University of California, Berkeley, PhD student, Kevin Joslin took us into a bustling den of delicious distilled delights. A two storey high back bar towers over you in the artfully restored warehouse building. I had the Mango Daddy of mezcal, mango and ginger with a mega slice of cucumber. The blackberry caipirinha was a close second.
