The Thursday Club is ready to indulge your pre-weekend party feels
For most of us, Thursdays are a bit of a bummer. They are that pesky little stopper between you and the weekend – something of a roadblock preventing you from living your best life. The fine folk at the Port Office Hotel thought that it was time for this day of the week to get totally revamped and to shirk off its reputation as totally lame – thus, The Thursday Club was born. Commencing from Thursday June 15, this brand-new event is set to extend those weekend feelings and get the good times rolling (a day earlier than usual).
So what exactly is The Thursday Club, you ask? Throwing it back to an era when conversation was an art and making time to socialise was paramount, The Thursday Club aims to replicate the atmosphere that surrounds a good old-fashioned get-together with mates. The name is even inspired by the original social club that formed back in 1864 when the Port Office Hotel was built – that’s quite the legacy! Delicious food, inventive cocktails and live tunes will provide the fuel for your fire, making the Club your perfect post-work pit stop or a place to linger longer if you’re so inclined.
Set upstairs in the lavish Colonial Bar, The Thursday Club will be a prime destination to wet your whistle, fill your belly and get your boogie on come sundown. Bombay Sapphire is sponsoring the designer gin cocktail menu, featuring such delights as a rooibos Negroni, lemongrass Collins and Genoa special. There will also be a cocktail trolley rolling around to serve up interactive Bombay and tonics – just flag them down and choose your garnish. The menu features smaller bites and more substantial fare depending on your hunger levels – think salt cod croquettes, Glacier 51 Toothfish roll-ups and achiote chicken tacos to get the vibe. To top it all off, each session will feature live electro swing music – the perfect blend of old-world charm with modern dance beats.
Ready to make Thursday great again? The Thursday Club is ready to welcome you with open arms from June 15, so make sure you wear your dancing shoes to work that day.
