This week's edition of @barsandclubsmagazine is surrounded by the nerve racking time for Sydney. So this week we have a featured stories about fortitude and positivity from across Australia and the world.

@dirtysultan owners @tomdarcy_ and @dilanildes know all too well the fight against the pandemic, it's pretty much all they've known since opening their bar in Brisbane's Fortitude Valley in early 2020, just five weeks before the national lockdown. It is however, a positive story of how they worked throughout the year to stabilise trade and have had a successful start to 2021.

Last weekend we had World Martini Day but this Friday we celebrate International Rosé Day. And, thanks to our chat with @angrovewine, we illustrate how and why bars should get involved with the day.

Elsewhere we have details on how you can nominate someone for the Tales Dame Hall of Fame. WA is also removing all capacity restrictions for venues which is great news.

Young Henry's have also launched their first whisky and our own @thedanny94 talks through his experience at yesterday's @bacardiau rum masterclass at Surry Hills bar @rosiecampbells.

All of this week's edition is available from the link in our bio. Stay safe and send us a DM if we can do anything to help.

This week's edition of Bars and Clubs is brings go

This week's edition of Bars and Clubs is brings good news that lockdowns and restrictions will continue to ease across Melbourne and the wider state.

The eased restrictions comes just in time for Collingwood bar @sixty.smith which has found it hard to build a reputation and repeat trade from constant closing and reopening.

@australiandistillingco Michael Hickinbotham talked to us about his passion for Australia and craft-made spirits.

In other news, in the Sydney suburb of Chippendale, a new bar @thebarrie_ has emerged after a successful weekend. We spoke to owner Christopher Garner about his inspiration for naming the venue and it's cocktails after his grandfather. Pictured in this post is cocktail Monica Miles, named after Barrie's first high school girlfriend.

@neverneverdistillingco is launching its Jars for Bars incentive to celebrate World Martini Day.

In the world of Australian single malt whiskies, new player @morriswhisky has released two premium whiskies.

As always, we'd love to hear from you so drop be shy about dropping us a line. For all our stories follow the link in our bio.

Once again we find Victoria's venues locked down and pivoting another outbreak, all we can do is offer our support. So we've compiled a list of venues that are offering gift vouchers, take-away and deliveries to keep some cash coming in.

We've also detailed the support that is available to operators in Victoria through a new state government package.

It's not all gloom for our industry however, with @domsbarandlounge taking out Northern Territory's Best New Venue and Brisbane West End bar @lycheelounge poised to expand its customer base after surviving the pandemic hardships.

We wish our best and support for everyone in Victoria and if you're not on our list of venues, send us a DM so we can add you in. All top stories this week can be found via the link in our bio.

Also in this week's news is the shift in mindset from the team at @frankiespizzabytheslice, who are turning the news of their demolition into a farewell party for the ages.

In other news, @_wearere also launched their @ketelone botanical terrace last week, entries close on 31 May for the 2021 @patronperfectionists cocktail competition and @campariau launch their new Red Passion campaign.

This week's edition of @barsandclubsmagazine is an absolute cracker of a read.

Topping the list is our exclusive chat with recent #diageoworldclassaus champion, @evanstroeve and his history behind the bar and how he's loving life at @_wearere.

We also spoke to @svenalmenning about how @ananas_academy training platform is being made available for free.

@larkdistillery has also been certified as Australia's first carbon neutral distillery and @ycklaneways also announces a major live music event.

Rounding up an awesome edition is our chat with @grainbarsyd F&B supervisor Pablo Moore Rubio and of course, we've included a delicious cocktail recipe for you from Grain Bar.
