A number of new venues have been signed to participate in the World Class Cocktail Festival next week with the festival now set to take place across 100 locations in Sydney as Sydney’s nightlife turns up the dial from 9-18 September.

The festival’s heart is in Sydney’s CBD and The Rocks, spreading into surrounding precincts including the Inner West:

  • Newtown’s Continental Deli will welcome Sebastian Belsazar, founder of Belsazar Vermouth, for a tasty Aperitivo Hour
  • Earl's Juke Joint, will welcome Melbourne’s The Black Pearl to celebrate their 20th birthday with a greatest hits menu featuring Don Julio tequila cocktails, snacks from local chefs, tunes from Shantan Wantan Ichiban
  • Adelaide’s favourite Memphis Slim’s House of Blues rolls into town and takes over the Tiki joint for one night only with Bundaberg Rum.

Back in the city on Sunday 11 September, whisky lovers will be spoilt for choice with bars offering unique experiences from the likes of The Singleton single malt Scotch whisky, Talisker and Johnnie Walker. Certain to sell out will be the intimate dinner at The Gidley hosted by World Class Global winner and Global Johnnie Walker Ambassador, Tim Phillips-Johansson, as he takes guests on a journey with Johnnie Walker Blue Label.
