The Port & One Stop DJs invite you to New Year’s Day 2018. Situated in the very heart of Darling Harbour, the newly renovated waterfront venue offers a brilliant sun-soaked setting to celebrate the first day of the new year.

Tino Pinotek, AKA Purple Disco Machine who hails from Dresden, Germany began his ‘Deep Funk’ project back in 2009. Since then PDM has ruled the Beatport Deep House charts with a slew of infectiously groovy tracks, landing him the rank of #18 in Beatport’s All-Time Top 100 Artists.

With his Debut Album ‘Soulmatic’ due to drop any day now on Australia’s very own Sweat It Out Records, summer 2017/18 is set to be a huge one for Purple Disco Machine. At the peak of it all, his New Year’s Day set at The Port Darling Harbour.

Supported by Sydney’s very best in house music, there is no better way to spend your New Year’s Day.

Vermouth is that essential cocktail ingredient, underpinning the Martini, Manhattan and Negroni, but it is also one that is overlooked at times. Vermouth is much more than just an ingredient in classic cocktails – or any cocktails for that matter, and its re-emergence into Australian drinkers’ repertoire comes at a time when consumers are increasingly interested in flavours, botanicals and drinks with a genuine story to tell.

Technically, Vermouth is a fortified wine with an ABV (alcohol by volume) that can range from 14.5% to 22%, and a wine content that must be higher than 75%. Generally speaking, Vermouth falls into two categories – sweet and dry. The quality of Vermouth is most influenced by the wine used at the base.

The Port uses only the finest vermouth, Martini Riserva Rubino Speciale and Noilly Prat Dry. We’re finding that Vermouth drinkers adore its lighter and fresh style, over heavy boozy cocktails. Vermouth plays perfectly to the ‘aperitivo’ moment, harbour side. It’s a moment that will extend well beyond the traditional promise of Autumn.

I can taste the Casoni Negroni’s NOW! Come and taste it for yourself, down at The Port.

Sydney is a beautiful, outdoor-loving City, at its twinkly-Harbour best when bathed in sunshine. Perhaps that is why it always comes as a shock when the wet weather rolls in and the Sydneysiders are filled with gloom. But a rainy day does not have to mean moping about at home or flicking on Netflix. There is still a great bunch of things to enjoy around town. But… we think there is nothing better than a long lunch down at the Port whilst watching the raindrops fall into the Harbour. Rainy days are good for the Soul, right? So pull out the gumboots, brolly, your book or headphones and splash to it!

On this rainy March day – lets hop Behind the Bar and get to know a gem that can make your day spent at The Port a whole lot brighter.

I’d love to sink my teeth a shark

Coconut water has been trending for some time now, and for a very good reason. The Hawaiians refer to Coconut water as “dew from the heavens”, because of it’s incredible health benefits, and I refer to it, as my number ONE hangover cure!

FYI: Did you know that during World War II and the Vietnam War, Doctors used Coconut water for intravenous IV solutions, when traditional water supplies were low and they discovered that it acts as an electrolyte replacement. It is so deliciously good for us because of the nutrients it contains. These include vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants and a rich source of major minerals, such as potassium, calcium & magnesium. How can something so tasty be oh so healthy?!

Coconut water has a bunch of health benefits! These include: rehydration, immune system booster, decreasing heat stroke, improving blood circulation in diabetics and even anti-aging treatments. This heavenly drop not only has 15 times more electrolytes than popular sports drinks, but also super low in calories! Making it an amazing remedy for those horrible hangovers.

That’s why, down at The Port, we have the Port Rafina Cocktail. It is one of the finest summer cocktails on our delicious list and definitely one of my personal favourites! Featuring 42 Below Feijoa Vodka, Parassio Coconut Water, Kiwi Fruit, Lychee & Mint, it is the perfect dose of rehydration after a big summers day, or the most delicious ‘hair of the dog’ that you’ve ever tasted!

Next time you have a thirst that needs quenching, come and see us down at The Port.

A study by the Appetite Journal suggests that sharing a meal with others actually makes you a better person! Since the early days, food has been connected with cooperation and promotes prosocial behaviour.
Some of my most favourite memories are paired with sharing food with a close group of friends or my family. It’s a way to show how much you care and creates a special connection for those who are involved.

There’s a difference between ‘sharing a meal’ and sharing food. The full bonding effect comes when food is served on a large platter and meant to shared. Down at The Port, we appreciate this and have adopted sharing food as our speciality.

We have a range of delicious dishes, created to share. If you’re looking to come visit us and not sure what to order, some of our favourites to share are:

– Char Grilled Deep Sea King Prawns with Garlic Butter and Chilli – for $24.
– The Hot + Cold Seafood Plate, loaded with King Prawns, Baby Octopus, Cured Salmon, Kingfish Sashimi, Salted Cod Croquettes and Fried School Prawns, all for $60.
– We are also loving the succulent Boneless Fried Chicken with Watermelon Hot Sauce.

Next time you have a corporate meeting, dinner with friends, or a private celebration, consider The Port as a venue with a wide range of shareable platters from the Sea & the Land! We are sure that you will also find a favoured accompanying drop from our carefully selected list of twenty-six wines.

We are more than happy to cater for your sharing needs!

Ahhh..

We are so excited! Come down from 4:30pm TODAY
