THE ARGYLE

With Halloween on the horizon, The Argyle precinct will transform into The Argyle Asylum from Friday 27^th October to Saturday 28^th October, with tricks and treats in store for guests.

Two floors, six bars and the cobblestone courtyard will be dramatically themed as an abandoned asylum with roving performers, including fire breathers and stilt walkers mingling with guests. There will be $10 Asylum cocktails each night until 10pm, served in syringes. Try them if you dare!

Thrill seekers who admit themselves to The Argyle Asylum on Friday 27^th October will see performances by Jesabel, DJ I-Dee, The Faders and MINX. Guests can go truly insane on Saturday 28^th October when the DJ line-up includes Brooklyn, TASS, Yoji and Mike Champion.

Entry is free before 9pm on the guest list.

EL CAMINO CANTINA

The rituals and revelry continue at Tex-Mex hangout El Camino Cantina from Tuesday 31^st October to Saturday 4^th November when there will be Day of the Dead feasting and festivities every day, fuelled by some exclusive tequila-based drinks.

Jose Cuervo is crafting the exclusive line-up, including the tequilas behind a $29 taco and tequila flight (three tacos paired with three tequilas) on Tuesday 31^st October, a boilermaker (a beer with a shot of tequila) that pairs with a dozen Buffalo wings for $19 on Wednesday 1^st November, Day of the Dead-inspired cocktails available on Friday 3^rd November, and a Bloody Maria cocktail that can be included in a Bottomless Brunch package available on Saturday 4^th and Sunday 5^th November.

There will also be a lucky door prize every weekday evening of a bottle of Jose Cuervo 1800 Essentials Tequila.

El Camino’s headline event is the Day of the Dead party on Thursday 2^nd November, with a mariachi band performing from 6.30pm and a DJ from 8pm. The three-course Fajita Fiesta menu ($49pp) is the star of the show, which is served platter-style for sharing.
