What's On

New Year’s Eve can go one of two ways: chaotic… or delicious.

This year, every Commune venue is celebrating NYE in its own way — from set menus built for sharing, to à la carte favourites, to DJs, late-night snacks and a group-wide martini menu stirred exclusively for the night.

Whether you’re after a big dinner, something more low-key, or simply an ice-cold martini before midnight, here’s what’s happening across the group.

**Dietaries can be accommodated across all menus.
