Friday nights till late Spring at Zeta Bar
One way to spice up your Fridays
“See burlesque performers and extreme cabaret acts with a touch of devilish debauchery, much oddity and a guaranteed excess of dark humour and shock value. Zeta Extreme Cabaret is a delicious celebration of the bizarre, served with side of lunacy and luxe-Zeta Style and well lubricated with prohibition-style cocktails, mystifying molecular cocktails and delectable nibbles.”
Thanks to Lorna O’Neill from Hilton Sydney for inviting me along to the launch of Extreme Cabaret. The Zeta Bar was colourfully transformed and decorated with matching party lighting and music to create a very fun atmosphere. If you don’t mind drinking nitro smoking cocktails out of a brown paper bag, shooting your mouth with absinthe from a syringe and popping a pill of sherbet at the same time then this might be your kind of event. I found myself in front of a bit of burlesque skin exposure, fire breathing juggling and a dwarf that energetically performed to Lady Gaga — or was that just the absinthe working on my mind? It’s a little bizarre and certainly different to what you’d find at your local pub. Entry is free and includes the entertainment which is a pretty sweet deal in my books when you consider people pay good money to see performances like this. I now know where I’ll want to be every Friday with a prohibition-style cocktail in one hand and a delectable nibble in the other.
SNAPSHOT REVIEW:
