A look at what's on across the group — every activation, takeover and standing programme, in one place. — Week ending 5 July 2026 —
The Bistro takeover at the Old Fitz lands Saturday 25 July, and the campaign has been live across socials since 24 June. This is the marquee winter booking driver — get it front of mind.
It's aimed squarely at EOFY corporate bookings, and the slots go quickly once the campaign's out. If anyone mentions a Christmas party — or a work do — point them at this. Mulled wine, the full roast, and a proper pudding: the room's set up for it. Push the group-booking enquiries now while there's runway before the date.
Father's Day is confirmed for September and goes live to the public from 6 July, the July comedy night lands on the 27th, the Grifter feature and tee keep running, and the winter standards hold. The Young Henrys fireplace covers the Fitz too. (Christmas in July is the week's headline — its card is up top.)
Father's Day at the Fitz is confirmed — event date Sunday 6 September, with the campaign going live to the public from 6 July.
It's locked, and the What's On page and access rules are being set up this week ahead of go-live. Nothing public to push until 6 July, but it's worth knowing it's on so it's on the radar for any early booking conversations — the September long-lead enquiries start surprisingly soon.
The July comedy night at the Fitz is set for 27 July, and it's live across socials from this week.
The standing monthly comedy slot — a reliable mid-winter draw for the room. Now live on socials, so keep the push going through the fortnight and mention it to anyone in for a drink who's after a night out.
The Grifter Omen feature is on at the Fitz — "murder a pint" while it lasts. Live across socials now.
Live · From 8 June · Socials
The Grifter × Fitz collab t-shirt is out and live on socials. A nice grab for the regulars — flag it at the bar.
Live · From 10 June · Socials
The winter Young Henrys partnership runs across the Fitz and the Duke — fireplace pints all season. Socials queued, waiting on YH content.
Planning · From 1 June · Fitz & Duke
Pork shoulder, chicken, pumpkin — Yorkshires, gravy, all the green stuff. The standing Sunday answer through winter.

King Street Crawl is locked for 12 July across both rooms, a new monthly themed trivia lands at the Duke on 29 July, and the Broadsheet Dine Out slot has been pushed back to a new date. (The Young Henrys fireplace covers the Duke too — its card is up in The Fitz.)
The cross-precinct crawl returns to King St on Sunday 12 July. Both rooms in play; the campaign's been live since 10 June.
This one brings consistent foot traffic across both venues, so it's worth keeping the date in mind for any private-booking conversations that might run up against it. The poster's out and live — the entertainment detail fills in closer to the day.
A new monthly themed trivia night for the Duke, first one 29 July. In planning — the What's On page and access rules are being created now.

The Duke's slot in the city-wide Broadsheet Dine Out has been pushed back by Broadsheet — waiting on a new date before it's live. Nothing to push yet.
Planning · Date pushed back
Christmas in July is live across socials — push the EOFY bookings hard. King Street Crawl lands 12 July, Bastille Day the week after, and the July comedy's on the 27th. Plenty to talk about — get the word out.
Bastille Day runs mid-July with the food-and-drink offer still being confirmed, the Sunday roast keeps running, the weekly wine spotlight rotates, and a bottomless cabaret brunch — now funded — is lined up for August. First Table and a Bistro Father's Day are in the mix too.
Bastille Day runs across OCN and Bistro Grenier from 15–17 July — the food-and-drink offer is still being confirmed before the detail goes out to the team.
Three days of it, planned to go live to the public around 2 July once the offer's locked. Worth knowing now so it's on the radar for booking conversations across the Newtown end of the precinct — the French-leaning Bistro is the natural home for it.
Bistro Grenier's Sunday programme is running — the standard standing-roast format, French-leaning.
Lighter on the marketing weight than the Fitz programme, but the obvious answer when guests ask what's open on Sundays at the Newtown end of the precinct.
The rotating weekly wine feature at the Bistro — socials only. A pour worth knowing for the recommendation when guests ask.

The discounted-first-sitting platform keeps running at the Bistro — an EDM from FT is going out. Quietly brings in weeknight covers.

A Bistro Grenier Father's Day for Sunday 6 September is in the works — details being put together now. One for the long-lead diary.
WIP · Working on details
Velvet Hour and Late Night Happy Hour anchor the room, the recurring disco night keeps turning over, and World Daiquiri Day and Broadsheet Dine Out come into focus for July.
$13 daiquiris all day Sunday 19 July — a spike on Razz Room's home turf, the kind of one-night excuse the bar was built for.
The headline's set — $13 daiquiris for the day — with the rest of the detail still being finished off, and it's been live on socials since 25 June. Start dropping it into conversation at the bar now; more collateral to come closer to the date.
The recurring disco night is on hold for now while the entertainment detail is confirmed. Hold off pushing it until it's back on.

The Mezzanine is now open for semi-private dining, First Table's bringing bookings through, and Happy Hour, Pre-Theatre and the Stamp Cards loyalty programme carry the week.
The discounted first-sitting platform is live at Bar Bruno and bookings are already coming through.
A quiet, reliable driver of early covers. One thing to hold: Friday and Saturday dinner is a 9pm timeslot only — good to know when a First Table booking comes in for the weekend. The SOP's linked if you want the full detail.
Bar Bruno's Mezzanine is open for semi-private dining, with a $75 express menu also available.
A good answer for small groups and semi-private occasions upstairs. The $75 express menu makes it easy to pitch for a set-cost group booking — flag it for any enquiry that needs a bit of separation from the main room.
Both standing offers carry the early-evening shift. Socials-led. If a guest mentions a show, Pre-Theatre is the lead.
Live · From 21 May · Socials
The repeat-visit loyalty programme for Bruno, lined up to push via the what's-on page as the channel of record.
