What will be the coolest bar during Sydney's Vivid festival?

Grain Bar at the Four Seasons Hotel in Sydney is aiming to be "the place to be" during Sydney's Vivid festival. 

The popular George Street bar will be illuminated with light projections and green luminescent Dom Pérignon Luminous Champagne bottles from 6pm each night from May 26 through to late June.

During the pop-up, Grain Bar will serve Dom Pérignon by the glass for $60, and Dom Pérignon Luminous bottles paired with a complimentary dozen freshly shucked oysters for $375. 

Created to match with the Champagne will be a bespoke menu of gourmet treats, including lobster corn dogs with citrus aioli and duck fat fries ($24); a trio of crispy truffle Gruyere “pleasure domes” ($21); and Sydney Rock oysters with smoked soy bonito mignonette ($4.50 each, $26 half dozen or $48 dozen).

Grain's mixologists will also be serving up a special signature cocktail inspired by the colours of Vivid Sydney. The violet-glowing Viva Violetta cocktail ($18) will be made with purple-coloured Ink Gin from the Northern Rivers of New South Wales, which gets its unique shade from an infusion of Butterfly Pea flower petals. 

One of the few bars in Sydney with a fireplace, Grain is a popular option for a cosy drink or bite to eat before, during or after exploring Vivid, including the Light Walk throughout the bar's neighbourhood of The Rocks and Circular Quay.

Throughout Vivid, Grain will also continue to serve up its regular list of wine, cocktails, boutique beers and craft spirits.

Open from noon until late daily, Grain Bar is located at 199 George Street in the Four Seasons and next to Circular Quay and the Rocks precinct. (02) 9250 3118. www.grainbar.com.au.
