Deck the bars
Two giant Christmas bars glowing at the heart of Jolly. Santa’s elves behind the bar, festive cocktails served in Christmas baubles, Christmas trees and candy canes, and snow falling at random moments around both bars. Around the festival, four classic bars pour NSW wines, beers and mulled wine.
Gateway Plaza
Sip, savour & discover.
The giant Christmas bar glows beneath twinkling lights while Santa’s elves look after the bar. Around it, six NSW producers (three wineries and three distilleries) share their wines and spirits, and NSW producer masterclasses run here too.
First Fleet Park
Sing, dance, feast & be Jolly!
Festive cocktails only, served by Santa’s elves in Christmas baubles, Christmas trees and candy canes. The bar sits in First Fleet Park, home of JOLLY NIGHTS LIVE and a different free Christmas show every night.
The two giant Christmas bars are all about festive cocktails. They are joined by four classic bars: two at Customs House, one at First Fleet Park and one on Circular Quay Upper Promenade.
Mulled wine, of course. The four classic bars serve mulled wine, along with NSW wines, beers and FIJI Water.
FIJI Water. Available at the four classic bars and, at Gateway Plaza, at the giant Christmas bar.
Raise a glass to New South Wales. The NSW winemakers exhibiting at Jolly bring their wines to the classic bars, so you can enjoy a glass and support a New South Wales winemaker.
Entry to Jolly is free. Drinks are paid for at the bar.
Elf bartenders are at the two giant Christmas bars.
Mulled wine is served at the four classic bars.
Snow falls at random each night around both giant bars. There is no set time.
