Angry Tony’s at the New Britannia

While you won’t get the views of Hotel Palisade at Angry Tony’s at the New Britannia, you will get delicious food and drinks. Better yet, you’re also in walking distance to Carriageworks, once again the venue for the famous Curve Ball which is held on June 8 this year. It’s most definitely not to be missed and is an immersive experience of dance, music and visuals. So, our advice? Fill up at angry Tony’s with pizza or pasta and walk around the corner to dance your socks off.

Criniti’s

This year, Darling Harbour has a space-age theme, with light, music and events designed for people of all ages and access abilities. An event to completely immerse yourself in, this means you’ll want somewhere that part of the action. Which is where Criniti’s at Darling Harbour comes in. Serving absolutely delightful Italian cuisine, this branch of the group is located in a prime position for the event. Everyone from the little ones to the big kids will love this one.

The Meat & Wine Co. Barangaroo

The flagship branch of The Meat & Wine Co. group, Meat & Wine Co. Barangaroo is located smack bang in the middle of the Vivid festivities. Featuring sweeping views of the Sydney Harbour, this rustic restaurant offers truly exceptional food alongside a stellar wine list. We recommend a stroll through the Barangaroo Reserve before relaxing over a flame-grilled steak and bottle of your favourite red wine. Then, head over and see the incredible display on the Opera House. Perfect.
