Bars March is back again this month to raise money for the Animal Welfare League. So it’s time to get into one of the supporting bars and have a drink to save a dog.
Now. in its tenth year, the Bars March motto,‘good times for a good cause’ is more important than ever. Although normally doggo focused the Animal Welfare League have been doing their bit for the recent bushfire victims, sending mobile hospitals out into the bush to help anyone furry in need.
So if you love dogs (or any of their furry cousins), get down to any of the participating bars this month to lend a paw to this great cause. Each year, participating bars create a Bars March drink, add it to their menus and donate a portion of the sales to our charity.
In Sydney, the list includes The Barber Shop, The Duke of Clarence, Bancho, O Bar Dining, The Erko, Lobo Plantation, Kittyhawk, Bartolo, SoCal, The Butler, Bopp & Tone, The Botanist (Kirribilli), as well Skye Bar at The Marsden Hotel, All Hands Brewing House and The Kurrajong Hotel in Sydney.
In Melbourne, there’s Golden Monkey, Madame Brussels, The Tipsy Cow, Newmarket Hotel and more.
