Hilton Sydney has launched an Arabian-inspired Friday night event featuring a spice market bar and sheesha pipes on the terrace.

The outdoor theming at Zeta Bar

Starting from 6pm on Valentine’s Day (February 14), Hilton’s Zeta Bar will be themed with Moroccan cushions, lanterns and a lounge area on the terrace. There will also be belly dancers and roving magicians throughout the course of the evening.

Guests will be greeted by a sheesha Sommelier who will guide patrons through the process of selecting a fragrant smoke blend and firing up a hookah.

Johnnie Walker cocktails featuring ingredients such as cinnamon, star anise, Turkish delight, figs, rose tea, sumac and smoked fairy floss have been given playful names like Casablanca, One Thousand and One Nights and Aladdin.

Zeta’s back bar will showcase a ‘spice market’ display for guests to choose a spice from and subsequently have a cocktail created to order and the tasting plate bar menu features dishes such as harissa lamb cutlets with a potato humus and Muhammara sauce; a tasting plate of house made dips including a pearl onion salad with pomegranate and Arabic sweet treats.

The Arabian Nights summer concept follows on from previous themed events including ‘The Secret Garden’, ‘Coney Island’ and ‘Farmers Market’ concepts previously held at Zeta Bar.

Arabian Nights wraps up on Friday 21 March.
