Imagine stepping into Old Loves and finding two completely different worlds happening at once.
At the front bar, the Savile Row team takes over, serving an exclusive menu of collaborative cocktails alongside Old Loves, fuelled by the energy, hospitality and controlled chaos we’re known for. We’re currently in discussions with Licor 43 and Jim Beam to help bring the drinks menu to life, creating an experience that’s more than a guest shift—it’s a collision of two of Australia’s most respected cocktail bars.
Out the back, things get loud.
We’re bringing BARLYMPICS to Sydney for the first time. Hosted by Leah Dunnigan, it’s fast-paced, slightly unhinged and built entirely around celebrating the hospitality industry. Rookie & Mentor teams from around Australia battle through relay races, speed challenges, cocktail knowledge and creative cocktail rounds while the crowd cheers, heckles and gets involved. It’s equal parts competition, entertainment and organised mayhem.
The vision is simple: incredible drinks inside, absolute chaos outside.
Together, Old Loves and Savile Row will create an event that captures everything Sydney Bar Week should be—a room packed with bartenders, brands and industry friends, celebrating hospitality with great cocktails, ridiculous competitions and unforgettable energy.
