Odd Culture

A look at what's on across the group — every activation, takeover and standing programme, in one place. — Week ending 30 August 2026 —

Pleasure Club · Spike Activation

Negroni Month, all September.

Campari-backed music lands at Pleasure Club for September. The campaign went live on 26 August, with the first date on Thursday 3 September.

This is the newest live spike on the sheet and the immediate answer when guests ask what's next. The campaign artwork calls it a month of music, so keep the pitch that simple until the brief adds individual dates or performers.

The Old Fitzroy Hotel

Monday comedy, then Father's Day.

Fitz of Laughter lands on Monday 31 August, then Father's Day follows on Sunday 6 September. The Young Henrys fireplace offer finishes on Monday, while Patrón Spicy Hour, Santa Paws and New Year's Eve sit further ahead in planning.

Live · Monday 31 August

Fitz of Laughter, Monday the 31st.

The free monthly comedy night returns to the Old Fitz on Monday 31 August. The campaign went live on 30 July.

The standing monthly slot, and a reliable Monday-night answer. It's free, which is the easiest part of the pitch — worth mentioning to anyone in for a drink who's looking for a plan at the start of the week.

Father's Day, at the Fitz.

The regular Sunday roast comes with a Carlton Draught for Dad when guests book for Sunday 6 September.

This is next week's booking conversation, not a distant calendar item. The offer is tied to a booking, so keep that condition intact when mentioning the pint.

The Duke of Enmore

Tuesday steak, beer, and Father's Day.

The new $10 steak-and-chips offer runs with any VB schooner every Tuesday through September. Father's Day follows next Sunday, while themed trivia, member's pricing and the Duke's birthday remain on the sheet.

Live · Tuesdays to 29 September

Steak and beer, about twenty bucks.

Buy a schooner of VB on Tuesday and add steak and chips for $10. The offer runs through Tuesday 29 September.

The guest pays for the beer plus the $10 plate, roughly $20.80 at the current schooner price. It is the same steak and chips normally sold for $20 on Tuesdays, tied specifically to a VB purchase.

A note from the team
The next seven days have a proper shape: Fitz comedy on Monday, the Duke's steak-and-beer offer on Tuesday, Negroni Month from Thursday, then Father's Day across the Fitz, Bistro and Duke on Sunday.

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.
