Look, we love the Winter Feast as much as anyone, but after you’ve spent three hours shuffling in a massive crowd, breathing in pure wood smoke, and paying $28 for a small plate of gnocchi you had to eat standing up in the freezing wind, your night needs an upgrade.

When you’re ready to thaw out, drop the heavy wool layers, and swap the intense avant-garde atmosphere for an actual guaranteed good time, head straight into the d floor. No lines for a fire pit, no existential dread—just pure, unpretentious club classics on the biggest (and warmest) dance floor in the city.

THE PRE-DRINK WARMUP from 10pm🕒⚡
Skip the freezing cold kitchen pre-game. Get in early, get warm, and beat the winter chill with our kick-off specials:

🍋 $7 Hard Rated * 🥃 $7 House Spirits
🎯 $7 Shooters (Cheaper than a mulled wine).
🥤 $8 Cruisers
⚡ $10 Vodka Redbulls

The city is lit red, the bunny is glowing, the drinks are cheap, and the room is warm. Leave the deep thoughts at the gate and step into the best room in the city.

Doors at 10 PM. See you later on the floor! 🥂✨

The winter solstice is officially here, the red lights are blazing, and Night Mass is actively turning the city into a beautiful, industrial fog machine of chaos.

But let’s be completely honest: after you’ve spent three hours being intensely stared at by a robot dog, standing in a freezing alleyway, or pretending to understand a piece of interpretive performance art that just looks like someone having a tantrum in a raincoat, your brain is going to need a palate cleanser.

When you are ready to swap the deep, confusing artistic contemplation for a good time, exit the labyrinth and head straight under the neon glow of the most iconic bunny in Hobart.

THE PRE-DRINK WARMUP from 10pm 🕒⚡
Don't worry about pre-ing in a freezing cold kitchen while your housemates argue about the power bill. Get in early, get warm, and beat the chill with our kickoff specials:

🍋 $7 Hard Rated * 🥃 $7 House Spirits🎯 $7 Shooters
🥤 $8 Cruisers
⚡ $10 Vodka Redbulls

If you’re currently sitting at home listening to the rain absolutely hammer your tin roof, wondering if you need to start building an ark just to get down Liverpool Street—stop. Come get wild with us in a dry & warm space!

If you find yourself having so much fun that your sneakers lose contact with the floor and you start ascending toward the strobe lights like a budget UFO, please try to ground yourself. We love that the vibe is elevating you to a higher spiritual plane, but floating away makes it incredibly difficult to order your next drink.

THE PRE-DRINK WARMUP FROM 10pm 🕒⚡
⚡ $10 Vodka Redbulls
🍋 $7 Hard Rated * 🥃 $7 House Spirits🎯 $7 Shooters (Cheaper than a winter festival feast stall).
🥤 $8 Cruisers
⚡ $10 Vodka Redbulls
