Chuck on that ball dress again, wear that black tie and be 100% class for two and a half hours of games, bottomless cocktails and canapes! The Deck in Geelong is hosting what could be one of the best nights of the year.

Gather your squad and practice your best James Bond impersonation because this event is only $49 and one you cannot miss.

I think we all know Matcha Mylkbar for their colourful burger buns, lattes and skull-shaped smoothies. But wait, they are taking it to a whole other level.

This Thursday the 9th of August you could be indulging in an 8 course Mexican themed vegan menu! Your tastebuds will be taken on a tour to Tulum as you pretend to be holidaying in the hot Mexican sun rather than in cold (and a lil depressing) Melbourne. They’ve even created a brand new dessert, expect churros and a dulce de leche ice cream sandwich with cumquats and coconut!

They’ve also got a selection of cocktails, beer and wines available to transform that drab Thursday night to one you won’t forget (or will you?). Make sure you book ASAP as it’s expected to sell out.
