The Bloody Mary Book Club Darwin brings book lovers together for lively discussions and great drinks in a relaxed atmosphere. Instead of reading the same book, bring along whatever you're reading or a favourite to share—whether it's a novel, non-fiction, or a graphic novel, all are welcome! The first hour is spent in silent reading, followed by a 30-minute session where everyone briefly introduces their book.
The Highlights:
A Bloody Mary Bar 🍅🍸 with all the fixings: vodka, tomato juice, celery, olives, flavourings and so much more —customise to your liking! Your ticket includes 2 of these.
Not into Bloody Marys? Enjoy Mimosas 🥂, Prosecco, or non-alcoholic beverages instead of the bloody marys.
Light snacks including focaccia, pickles and dips 🍴 to enjoy with your drinks.
