Your Open Season Starts on King St

Start your night the right way at Il Verde, where their crowd favourite $35 Italian Classics pairing brings together any pizza or pasta with a house spritz or wine. It’s relaxed, comforting and perfectly timed for a pre show catch up..

If you’re after something quick, bold and satisfying, Winghaus has you sorted with their Chicago Knockout Hot Dog and a soft drink for $20. Big flavour, no fuss, and ideal when time isn’t on your side.

Over at El Camino Cantina, things get a little more playful. From Sunday through Thursday, you’ll find $7 tacos paired with $7 select cocktails, perfect for a cheeky round (or two) before heading into the action.

For something fresh and flavour forward, Xin Chao is offering any main dish with a house wine or beer for $29 throughout Open Season. It’s a generous, satisfying option that won’t weigh you down before a night at the Tiv.

Short on time but craving a classic? Super Combo delivers with a Round 1 burger and any beer for $20, quick, easy and guaranteed to hit the spot.

And if you’re in the mood for something a little more elevated, both Bar Gusto and Six Acres Restaurant are offering 10% off your dinner, proving that a refined pre-show meal doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag.

With venues spanning from Queensland Performing Arts Centre to Fish Lane and beyond, Open Season is bringing over 30,000 music lovers into the city this winter, and King St is right in the middle of it all.

So whether you’re heading to an intimate gig at The Tivoli, making a night of it at the theatre, or just following the buzz, make sure to start (or end) your night here!
