Bottomless Brunch Grinch

The Lucky Hotel is bringing back its Bottomless Brunch Grinch this spring, with the first session kicking off on Saturday 7 November. It's a wicked twist on the usual bottomless brunch, and it doesn't just stop there — it runs every Saturday and Sunday through to 27 December, so there are plenty of weekends to choose from as we head towards Christmas.

The format is straightforward: you get two hours of cocktail jugs, house wines and tap beers paired with a share-style feast. It's the kind of thing that works best with a group, where you can just settle in and let the drinks and food come to you rather than worrying about ordering round by round. The Grinch theme adds a bit of mischief to the mix, and the share-style spread means everyone's eating from the same table.

There are two seatings each day, one at 11.30am and another at 2pm, and each one runs for two hours. If you're planning a late morning, the 11.30am slot gets you sorted early; if you'd rather sleep in, the 2pm one takes you well into the afternoon. Since it's on both Saturdays and Sundays, you can pick whichever day fits your weekend better.

The Lucky Hotel sits at 237 Hunter St in the heart of Newcastle's East End, a pub and boutique hotel known for its courtyard and for being a regular fixture in the city's weekly events and live entertainment scene. Beyond the pub, it runs a 30-room boutique hotel with rooms that combine mid-century style and modern comfort. There's also a loyalty membership that gives you a A$30 birthday voucher, an exclusive daily happy hour and a complimentary drink on arrival. The brunch is A$89 per person plus booking fee.
