Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras At Taphouse Sydney

We’re hosting a series of special Mardi Gras events from 13th February to 1st March, 2026.

Applejack Hospitality is a proud partner of the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras 2026. We’re celebrating over a decade of active support for the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras and the broader LGBTQIA+ community.

We’ve got an incredible line-up events to keep the vibe high over the two weeks. From Karaoke Queens, our iconic Big Drag Brunch, ongoing Sip & Slay Bottomless and Parade Day Party, Taphouse is definitely the place to be. Plus, we’ve teamed up with Archie Rose, the official gin partner of Mardi Gras 2026, to shake up some seriously special cocktails.

Karaoke Queen's

Kick off Mardi Gras in style on 13th February with Karaoke Queens. A fabulous queen will cheer you on as you serve power ballads, nail those romantic duets, and unleash your inner superstar, whether you’re channeling Beyoncé, Bowie, or something completely your own.
