With the Halloween costumes packed away for another year and Christmas creeping closer, November is your chance to squeeze in a few more good times before the end-of-year madness really kicks off. From Melbourne Cup celebrations and cocktail specials to long lunches and Sunday occasions, there’s plenty to get excited about across our venues this November.
Officially opening 5 November | The Strand, Takapuna
A fresh look, a new fire-kissed menu and the same prime spot overlooking Takapuna Beach. Regatta is back after a full refresh inside and out, bringing luxurious lunches and sunset drinks to the table. Book one of the private cabanas for an overdue catch up over a daiquiri or two, or settle into a velvet booth with your favourite people for a special occasion. Regatta is made for long lunches to become sunset drinks, another bottle to arrive without thinking - and for the day to go beautifully off course.
Tuesday, 3 November | Sports & Rec Sylvia Park and Sports & Rec Wellingto
Australia’s most iconic horse race deserves more than a quiet one on the couch. Get the crew together and catch all the Melbourne Cup action live at Sports & Rec, where the big screens are on and the game-day grub is ready to go. After all, sport is always better when it’s social.
Monday, 2 November - Sunday, 13 December | Every Star Group venue
November called, it wants a cocktail. Meet $18 Summer Serves - four brand-new cocktails for just $18 each, available all day, every day from 2 November to 13 December at every Star Group venue.
Will you choose the Lemon Ace with Grey Goose vodka, passionfruit syrup, Schweppes lemonade, lemon zest and mint? Or perhaps the Dark & Stormy with Bacardí spiced rum, L&P Ginger Beer, lime juice and bitters is more your style. No matter which of the four cocktails you choose.

Come for lunch. Stay for the whole afternoon. Round up your favourite people and settle in for a Sunday at Goldie’s, where a proper Goldie’s feast meets live country music, line dancing and a little extra entertainment.

Officially open | 4 Taranaki Street, Wellington Central
Wellington, it’s game time. Sports & Rec has officially opened in the former Shed 22 on the waterfront, with big screens, beer towers, game-day grub and plenty of reasons to stick
around beyond the final whistle. Bring the family, round up the workmates, or make a night of it with your friends.
See you at the bar, Wellington!
