What’s On In The Sutherland Shire This August

New restaurants, business events and thrift shopping - we’re sending winter off with a bang 

It’s the last month of winter, and we’re sending it off with a bang here in the Shire. We’ve got new restaurant openings, business events and thrift shops to keep you occupied as you wave off the last of the chilly weather and get ready to embrace spring. Here’s what’s on in the Sutherland Shire this August.

The Pines, Cronulla


They Grey Thrift Shop Caringbah

Make Some Extra Cash And Pick Up A Bargain

What’s that saying about one man’s trash? Blame it on nostalgia, our love of a good bargain or a penchant for sustainability, but the rise of the Thrift Shop has been hard to ignore. Caringbah-based creative studio The Grey is hosting another of their famous Thrift Shop days on August 18th, where you can take in your preloved items, make a bit of extra cash, and pick up some finds of your own. If you’re keen to secure a stall, be sure to get in touch with the team - otherwise, we’ll see you there!

 
Pino’s Vino e Cucina Cronulla

Visit The Brand New Pino’s Vino e Cucina

Having already earned a place as one of Sydney’s most beloved authentic Italian restaurants, Pino’s Vino e Cucina al Mare has just opened a second location - and it’s right here in the Shire. Situated in the heart of Cronulla, the venue has taken over the now-closed 1908 building, complete with its iconic vine-clad exterior, and they’re promising some of the best pasta around served in an intimate setting. The official grand opening is slated for Saturday 10th August, and bookings are now open - run, don’t walk!

Lounge Lovers Caringbah

Enjoy Some Retail Therapy At The New Lounge Lovers Showroom

Shire locals, the wait is finally over! Lounge Lovers is making its grand entrance into the Shire this month, and we couldn’t be more excited. The showroom officially opens its doors on August 16th, bringing you the best in made-to-order and in-stock furniture favourites. Find them at 168 Taren Point Road, Caringbah!

 
The Pines, Cronulla

Join The Pines For Their Italian Night

Winter is the unofficial season of hearty Italian dishes, and Cronulla favourite The Pines is joining in on the love affair with their ‘Buon Appetito’ Italian night on August 15th. The evening is based around a five-course menu, which spans Italian favourites (think focaccia with olive oil and balsamic and ‘Lasagne Alla Bolognese’), all paired with quality Italian wines. The evening costs a very-worthwhile $165 per person and bookings are essential.

 
Perisher, Jindabyne

Make The Most Of Snow Season

Before September 1st heralds the arrival of spring, pack up the car and make the most of the snow-tipped mountains and slopes at one of New South Wales’ ski resorts. From Jindabyne to Thredbo and Perisher, we’ve scoped out the best foodie spots to visit while you’re there, whether you’re after a local brew or multi-course Italian affair. Find our guide to visiting the snow here.

 
Giro's Osteria, Cronulla

Treat Your Tummy To Giro’s Winter Menu Special

You may be feeling more than ready to say goodbye to the season, but before you do, be sure to tuck in to Giro Osteria’s $49 winter menu. Warm and hearty, the list features four courses: antipasti to start (polenta chips and salumi), primi (mushroom cavatelli), secondi (chicken parmigiana) and, last but certainly not least, dolci (panna cotta).

 
Our Father Cafe

Say Cheers To Our Father’s New Cocktail Menu

ICYMI, the talented team behind Our Father have been busy. After expanding to Rosebery with the opening of their sister cafe, More, they have also introduced a rota of new house made cocktails to their already well-loved menu. Available until 3:00pm, the list spans Highball Spritzes to Spicy Tommy Margies - it’s the ideal way to spend a sunny arvo.

 
Next Door, Cronulla

Brews, Beats And A Bespoke Menu At Next Door

On Thursday 8th August starting at 6:30pm, local favourite Next Door is coming together with craft brewery, Mountain Culture, in the ultimate partnership. With 5 bespoke beers and 5 mouthwatering courses on offer, as well as live music, it’s an event not to be missed. The evening is priced at $100 per person and bookings are essential.

 
Cony's Cronulla

Get Cony’s To Go

In the words of the Cony’s team, drinking at home just got a whole lot fancier. It’s the food and cocktails menu you know and love, but offered to-go via Uber Eats for those nights where you’re craving a Mexican party, but not the night out that goes with it.
