As Vivid Sydney prepares to transform the city with light, colour and creativity, Pullman Sydney Hyde Park is turning up the brightness in its own tasty way. Just steps from the heart of the festival, the hotel is the ideal starting point for an evening out, and its stylish lobby bar, BAR THIRTY6, is serving up a specially curated Vivid-themed menu that’s every bit as dazzling as the lights outside.

Drawing inspiration from the Vivid vibes, the limited-time menu features a vibrant line-up of cocktails and share plates designed to delight all the senses—not just the eyes!

Guests can snack on smoky BBQ pulled pork sliders served on charcoal buns with crispy chips, or opt for a vegan-friendly twist (hooray!) with pulled jackfruit instead—both priced at $22. For something snackable yet scrumptious, the beetroot and goat cheese arancini, finished with a creamy ranch dressing, delivers on colour and crunch in equal measure.

To sip, the bar has crafted an equally luminous cocktail list: from the fruity sparkle of a Pink Gin Fizz to the herbaceous punch of a Basil Smash, each drink is priced at $20 and made to match the mood of the night. Even those enjoying the non-alc route can join in on the fun with a Cran-tastic Fizz mocktail for $15, offering a tangy burst of flavour and a vibrant pop of colour.

Whether you’re heading into the lights or winding down from the glow, BAR THIRTY6 offers a deliciously  stopover that captures the spirit of Vivid in every bite and sip. But don’t wait: like the festival, it’s only here for a limited time.

BAR THIRTY6‘s Vivid Menu is available until June 14.
