Sensational tastes are set to sweep through Brisbane as the Customs House calendar flicks to September. In a partnership with Aperol, the CBD venue will launch their all-new pop up bar, Sunset Spritz, beckoning in the warm spring weather with gorgeous river views, bites, and chilled cocktails.
Working to entice the public into rounds of spritz, wine and canapés before their evenings out in the city, Sunset Spritz bar will stand on the Customs House courtyard before one of Brisbane’s finest river views. Customs House is fortunate to have uninterrupted river views of the Story Bridge right down to the Kangaroo Point cliffs.
Brian Roberts, Director of Customs House, said: “We are welcoming in spring with a bang and are very excited to have partnered with Aperol to launch our Sunset Spritz spring pop up bar. We would love all locals to join us for an Aperol Spritz or a glass of rosé and enjoy our beautiful view by the river.”
Following the anticipated launch event on Thursday 22 September, the bar will open to the public on Wednesdays – Saturdays from 4pm until late and Sundays from 1-5pm. Sunset Spritz will remain open throughout the spring and summer months.
The week’s events begin on Wednesdays, with Apertivo Hour treating guests to complimentary canapés from 5pm-6pm. On Thursdays, live music by guitarist Reece Freeman will draw crowds by the river from 5pm-7pm.
As they order glasses of AIX Rosé and Bandini Prosecco, guests will enjoy tastes like freshly shucked Coffin Bay oysters, truffled mushroom arancini, and crispy pork cheek sliders with kimchi salad. Further drinks may include Sunset Spritz’s selection of Negronis, ranging from the Classico to a fresh spring twist.
A host of Brisbane’s top media, influencers and event coordinators made the 100 strong guest list on launch night, with canapés and spritz served up by the Customs House team.
