New Year's Eve 2026 Dinner and Party

A New Year's Eve dinner and party at Smith's Bar & Grill in Paddington, combining a five-course meal with live music, close-up magic and a DJ through to the early hours of the new year.

This New Year's Eve outing at Smith's Bar & Grill on Sheldon Square pairs a seated five-course dinner with a party. The session opens with canapés and sparkling wine. Guests choose between an early dinner, a late dinner, or party-only entry, which does not include a meal. Dinner guests move into the party area once their dinner is over.

The entertainment is provided by The Blue Loop Duo, whose soul, rock and pop repertoire is built on guitar, vocals and looping harmonies. As the countdown approaches, a magician moves between the tables, and an MC leads the countdown itself. Once midnight has passed, a DJ takes over in the party area and keeps the music going into the small hours.

Bottomless drinks cover white and red wine, sparkling wine and beer on draught for the length of the package. The dress code is smart and party-going, and the minimum age is 18, with valid ID required. The outing suits groups of friends and couples who want to mark the turn of the year in one place, and the venue has step-free access.
