Odd Culture

A look at what's on across the group — every activation, takeover and standing programme, in one place. — Week ending 19 July 2026 —

Spike · OCN & Bistro Grenier

Bastille Day, on now.

Three days of it across Odd Culture Newtown and Bistro Grenier — Wednesday 15 to Friday 17 July. The campaign's live and it's happening this week.

The French-leaning Bistro is the natural home for this one, with OCN carrying it alongside. It's the week's biggest in-venue moment at the Newtown end of the precinct — talk it up to anyone booking or walking in, and know what the offer is before your shift. Then the week closes with Daiquiri Day at Razz on Sunday.

The Old Fitzroy Hotel

Christmas in July lands Saturday the 25th.

One week out from the Bistro takeover — this is the final-push week. The July comedy night follows on the 27th, member's pricing arrives from the 22nd, Father's Day is now live, the Grifter feature and tee keep running, and the Young Henrys fireplace is pouring at the Fitz and the Duke.

Spike · Saturday 25 July

Christmas in July, one week out.

The Bistro takeover at the Old Fitz lands this coming Saturday, 25 July — ads have been live across socials since 24 June.

This is the marquee winter booking driver, aimed squarely at EOFY corporate groups — and it's now the last week to fill the remaining slots. If anyone mentions a Christmas party or a work do, point them at this. Mulled wine, the full roast, a proper pudding: the room's set up for it.

Monthly Comedy, Monday the 27th.

The July comedy night at the Fitz is set for 27 July, and it's live across socials.

The standing monthly comedy slot — a reliable mid-winter draw for the room, landing two days after Christmas in July. Keep the push going through the week and mention it to anyone in for a drink who's after a night out.

The Duke's Father's Day campaign is now out, the first monthly themed trivia lands 29 July, member's pricing arrives from the 22nd (its card is up in The Fitz, alongside the Young Henrys fireplace), and Broadsheet Dine Out is waiting on a new date. Pleasure Club sits quiet on the activation sheet this week.

Father's Day, at the Duke.

The Duke's Father's Day is confirmed for Sunday 6 September and the campaign is now live — the what's-on page goes out this week.

Same date as the rest of the group, with the Duke running its own room. September sounds far off, but the long-lead bookings start early — if a table's talking about dads, plant the date now.

Monthly Themed Trivia, first one the 29th.

A new monthly themed trivia night for the Duke — the first lands Wednesday 29 July.

Still in planning: the what's-on page and access rules are being created now, so the public push is yet to start. Worth having in your back pocket for regulars who ask what's coming up — a themed night is an easier sell than straight trivia.
