Last updated: Thursday, 28 August 2025
The East City is in the process of a rebirth. And at the centre of it is Harringtons. There's a Gatsby-esque lounge with whiskey dinners and dazzling disco parties; a live music venue with rock ‘n roll; rum cocktails at a Hemingway-inspired bar; and a dive bar with bunny chows. You can even book these venues for corporate and private events, just fill in their enquiry form.
Here are the dishes, cocktails and events to try when you’re at Harrington Street.

It’s a tale of transformation. The Harrington Street building has been around since the ‘60s, and has gone from being a grungy-cool live music spot to a vibrant nightlife
