This weekend, Fortitude Valley bar Capulet celebrates their first birthday.
The Brisbane venue that’s situated in the upper end of Brunswick Street and its open-air courtyard have seen a lot in 12 months. Capulet’s director, Leigh Metzeling, shares his top five moments so far.
Launch party
The time had come to open our doors to the people of Brisbane. In an exciting night of fashion, music and nightlife, Capulet welcomed all friends and family to its launch night on Friday June 28. Featuring an incredible fashion parade courtesy of last year's MBFF designer Isabella Longginou, with hair by Hair Zoom and models from SASS Management National (official) it sure was a great opening! All the glitz and glamour were present including some high profiles and local celebrities.
Didier Cohen Christmas Party
Capulet presented its Naughty Christmas Carol featuring Didier Cohen on Saturday December 21, in celebration of being bad leading up to Christmas. For making it on Santa’s list for all the wrong reasons, Capulet treated its clientele with a delicious cocktail selection, mixed with sugar, spice and everything naughty. Everyone got caught in the romance with Didier Cohen, unwrapping their presents early!
New Year’s Eve 2013
2013 New Year’s Eve, Capulet celebrated with something special as it transformed into a new beginning, and at the stroke of midnight witnessed the heavens open up to reveal a sea of gold. Capulet extended its license to 5am and threw what was an incredible party to bring in the New Year!
Guilty pleasure #10 feat. Fear Of Dawn
The tenth edition of our favourite and always ridiculous monthly events was one our best. We had Sydney legends Fear Of Dawn flying up to bang out one of their signature house sets, which included live conga and bongo drums, and to celebrate the occasion we had a huge tenth birthday cake for everyone to feast on while indulging in our signature cocktail list of topshelf liquor.
Lemon & Lime presents Guy J
Lemon & Lime (Dan Burke) presented one of the most amazing producers of the last ten years. Israeli producer Guy J has established himself as one of the most sophisticated and emotive producers in electronic music of the last decade. In traditional Lemon & Lime style, they kicked things off in the afternoon and took everyone into the darkness of the night.
Capulet celebrate their first birthday in style this Saturday July 5 with a swag of local DJs on tuneage duties. Oh, and there’ll be cake.
