Fresh from opening a brand-new basement jazz bar The Caterpillar Club last week and The Rocks' romantic Mediterranean Le Foote earlier this year, the Restaurant Hubert team is giving Sydney plenty to get excited about as we roll into 2024.
While January is typically a quiet and cruisey time in the city, head down the spiral staircase into the candlelit Hubert basement for glam movie nights, magic, cabaret, wall-to-wall live jazz, and $11 martinis too. Here's what's happening at this gorgeous city spot in January.
Magnums And Movies

Restaurant Hubert's beloved Magnums and Movies nights are back for Jan—the perfect way to turn a humble night at the movies into something much more glamorous and decadent.
Hosted in the venue's ultra-cool underground cinema, the Theatre Royale, the evening includes cocktails, canapes, popcorn, a full buffet dinner, dessert, and, of course, free-flowing magnums of wine to pair with a spectacular retro film.
In January, catch Sofia Coppola's indulgent and perfect Marie Antoinette (Sunday 7 January, 6pm, tickets here) and then Tilda Swinton in I Am Love later in the month (Sunday 21 January, 6pm, tickets here).
Magic And Caberet

Magicians, feather boas, and fan dances feel made for Restaurant Hubert's Theatre Royale. In January, master showman and Australia's most celebrated magician James Galea will take over this special spot for Le Grande Mystique.
Crafted by Galea for the Theatre Royale specifically, expect to witness some mind-bending magic and fantastical feats—while you enjoy free-flowing wine and canapés from the Hubert kitchen. Sunday 14 January, 6pm, tickets here.
For something a little more risque, La Vie Royale is Hubert's stunning new night of cabaret, where burlesque stars and masters of the performing arts are set loose in the Theatre Royale. You can choose to be fully immersed, feasting on the theatre floor, or opt for theatre seats with canapés. Sunday 28 January, 6pm, tickets here.
Jazz January

Last but not least, the main stage at Restaurant Hubert promises to be extra jazzy in January with a full program of artists set to perform during every meal. Curated by Jazz legend Calvin Welch, you can expect to see live music every day for lunch and dinner.
Make your way through Hubert's much-loved a la carte menu and order yourself an $11 martini at lunchtime (it's January, so it doesn't count right?). Bookings for the restaurant can be made here.
