What’s On In The Sutherland Shire This September
A Sun-Kissed Month Of Markets, Happy Hours & More Is Ahead
Can you smell the jasmine in the air? Feel the sun lingering on your skin a little longer? It’s time to wave goodbye to winter and ring in spring, and in the Shire there are a lot of great ways to do so. From that first warm-weather dip to dates with delicious dishes, here’s what’s on in the Shire this September.
Grab a slice - or five - at Almo
As the crafty team behind Almo say, this is an occasion where your mouth and your wallet are on the same page. For just $20, you can plate up all the pizza you like - and eat it too - every Thursday night. This is not a drill. Every. Thursday. Night. Pizza. $20. All of it. Whether you’re a die-hard Supreme fan or fancy more of a speciality selection (we see you, Argentinian Asado), this is the springtime activity for you. As you can imagine, the crew are not expecting many empty seats, so best book your table in to ensure you don’t miss out.

Kick back at KIN Burraneer
KIN may have only just arrived, but it’s already making waves. Created by the team behind Next Door Cronulla and Sealevel Restaurant, it’s no surprise that KIN has quickly earned hotspot status. A menu of brunch and lunch picks (like delicious Brekkie Buns and the very Instagrammable Soy Marinated Tuna Tartare) meets wine, beers, spirits and classic cocktails is the perfect recipe for lazy weekends and easy weekday visits. KIN have also just launched day drinKIN - a weekly happy hour special running Friday to Sunday. Sip on $15 cocktails, $10 wines and $5 beers from 1:00pm to 3:00pm.
