Category: New Years Resolutions
As we welcome 2024, let's shake up your New Year's resolutions. Forget those fleeting, restrictive pledges that vanish quicker than the last sparkles of New Year's Eve fireworks. At Isla & Co., our mission is all about creating a sense of community, grounded in Australian style service, culture, and lifestyle through our food, drinks, and hospitality. Our venues are designed to be a home away from home, a welcoming space for staff and customers alike, where everyone can forge meaningful connections. So this year, we're focused on helping you set resolutions that bring genuine fulfillment into your life, enriching friendships, communities, and workplaces. Let’s dive in…
Regular Coffee Dates
Make a standing coffee date with a mate each week. It’s a chance to check in with each other, share stories and have a laugh to start or end your day. It's simple, it's effective, and it's a great excuse to indulge in some top-notch coffee.
How Isla & Co. can help: We live and breath Aussie coffee culture at Isla & Co. We’ll make sure your quality time is paired with a quality brew. Don’t forget to grab a coffee card – every 10th coffee catch-up will be on us!
Start a Book Club
Expand your social circle and deepen existing relationships by starting a book club. It's a fun way to share perspectives, enjoy laughs, and discover new stories all while enjoying a great feed and a bevvy or two.
How Isla & Co. can help: Need a cozy spot for your literary debates and chit-chat? Isla & Co. has you covered with large group bookings in our private dining rooms or snug corners. Great food, quality cocktails, and great conversations – inspired by your books and our kitchen.
Workmate Happy Hours
Build better workplace relationships by organizing regular happy hours with your colleagues. It’s a fantastic way to connect outside the office and maybe to make a few Happy Hour memories.
How Isla & Co. can help: Dive into our daily happy hours from 3-6 pm, or join us for Wine Wednesdays, where all bottled wines are half off all day.
Go On A Culinary Adventure
This year, step outside your usual culinary comfort zone. Find a friend to venture out with and vow try something new each time you do.
How Isla & Co. can help: Have you ever journeyed through a carefully curated espresso martini flight or wondered what skewered pieces of kangaroo tenderloin marinated in tamarind, coriander, shallots, garlic, and lemon juice taste like? Or maybe you just aim to shake up your coffee order each visit. We will always promise an experience that’s as exciting as it is delicious. Come for the flavors, stay for the stories.
Sharing is Caring – Especially with Food
Sometimes, the best evenings are those spent at home, sharing a meal with friends. Whether it's a celebration or just a casual catch-up, food has this magic of bringing people together.
How Isla & Co. can help: To make your “night in” even more special, use the code "NYRESOLUTION" when you order directly with us online, and we’ll cover 50% of your bill all January. Sharing the love (and the food) has never been easier!
We hope to share in some of the memories you and your mates create in 2024 and whether you commit to none, one or all of these we wish you all an incredible year ahead! Happy New Year
