For immediate release
June 2018
June 1st marks the opening of The Fire Garden, the new pop-up at South Wharf’s The Common Man. Built specifically to keep patrons warm and cozy down on the Promenade this winter. Including a range of drink specials, custom food menu and entertainment throughout the series. With an official launch party June 10th.
The Fire Garden is built upon The Common Lawn, a large exterior lawned area on the South Wharf Promenade. A pair of shipping containers, classic Airstream bar, a range of campfire seats, fire pits, heaters and more create the setting; while blankets are on offer to add that extra touch of relaxation for the brisk Melbourne winters.
However the setting is just the start with Common Man hosting a multitude of food and drink option. Craft beer artisans James Squire have created a custom beer menu (with rotisserie and smoked meats) for the series, coupled with 5 of their award winning beers available on tap and as tasting paddles. Redbank have a wide selection of their very own wines on special just for the event, while Aberlour and Glenlivet are providing the soothing warmth with Whisky Flights on offer as well as carefully paired Boilermakers (if you don’t know, best to come and try) just for the Fire Garden.
Entertainment is not forgotten, The Fire Garden will also play host to a rotating group of musicians performing live music maintaining the welcoming atmosphere.
To kick off the Fire Garden, a launch party is being held on Queens Birthday eve from 4.30pm. All attendees will be treated to beer food tastings, live music and very special door prizes.
"We are really excited to be offering a unique experience here at the wharf, a place where guests can enjoy the Winter days and evenings looking at the city and stars indulging in some heartwarming food, without having to be tucked away inside somewhere." – Sam Shaw, General Manager ---
One of the few outdoor venues near the city, by The Yarra and that provides some great views. The Fire Garden will be active until September 30th.
