Vivid Sydney Cocktail Trail


Details

Open leg route
7.9KM / 4.9MI

Lights, cameras and limited edition ‘VIVID’ cocktails in some of Sydney’s best bars.

When I realised 2018 marked the 10th anniversary of Sydney’s bright winter star – Vivid Sydney festival – I knew it would mean big things.

I mean, Sydney already pulls out all the stops; special Vivid cruises, restaurant offers – and the streets more ‘lit’ than any Gen Z kid could ever possibly explain.

Now, some of Sydney’s best bars are also doing their bit to get into the spirit of Vivid, and what it means for us is a carefully curated cocktail trail that appeals to a wide variety of palates. Spanning Darling Harbour to Circular Quay, the trail links together the bars that have taken it to the next level; creating a limited edition cocktail specifically for the Vivid program.

Here’s how to have the most successful night experiencing everything Vivid Sydney has to offer; your itinerary (as I lived it) awaits…
