BEFORE THE BIG DAY

Let the celebrations start tonight.

Before the wedding day takes over, there’s tonight. A slower evening with the people closest to you, good drinks on the harbour and none of the pressure that comes with the day ahead. Just time to settle in, enjoy the moment and let everything else wait until tomorrow.

Why Barbarossa Bar?

There’s a reason so many celebrations begin here. The setting feels effortless, the drinks are taken seriously and everything is easy to organise when guests are arriving from different places. Whether it’s welcome drinks at sunset or a full evening with family and friends, Barbarossa Bar makes the night before feel exactly how it should.

The harbour, your people, the night before — all in one place.
