Our first New Year’s Eve at The Observer Hotel.
Tickets now live.
Sydney, this is the one. The Observer Hotel is throwing its first-ever New Year’s Eve party, and trust us, it’s not one you’ll want to hear about the morning after.
We’re right in the heart of The Rocks. Arrive to a spritz, then settle into a three-hour food and drinks package, with canapés doing the rounds from 7pm – 10pm. And when midnight rolls around, the best spot in the house is right outside our door: step onto George Street for a front-row view of the Harbour Bridge fireworks lighting up the sky, then head straight back in to dance your way into 2027.
Tickets are strictly limited. The first 50 are early bird at $350, then it’s $400. When they’re gone, they’re gone.
Food, drinks and a dance floor
From 7pm to 10pm, everything’s taken care of. A spritz on arrival, then sparkling, white and red wine, beer and soft drinks, while our head chef’s canapés do the rounds: Sydney rock oysters with gin and lemon granita, beef cheek croquettes, wagyu sliders, chicken tikka masala, and mini Cornettos on dry ice to finish.
Doors open at 6pm, so come early, beat the crowds and make the most of every minute. Once the package wraps at 10pm, the bar stays open and the DJ keeps the dance floor going until 1:30am. The venue closes at 2am.
