FANCY fare was on the menu for locals and visitors, who were determined to enjoy good food and good company despite heavy rains on New Year’s Eve.
Many venues throughout Noosa reported a sell-out night, with most New Year’s Eve dinners booked out well in advance at restaurants such as Italian Marina at Noosa Marina, Thomas Corner Eatery in Noosaville and Bistro C on Hastings Street.
Bistro and budget dining options were also a big hit, with the Tewantin Noosa RSL enjoying a busy night.
Tewantin Noosa RSL CEO Phil Stephenson said the bistro was busy, with people looking to celebrate with friends and family before taking to the dance floor.
“A great night was had by all at the Tewantin Noosa RSL New Year’s Eve celebrations,” he said.
“The club was packed, with Late for Woodstock’s show in the Digger’s Bar booking out a week earlier. Patrons got up on the dance floors in both the Digger’s Bar and the South Bar and the party packs we handed out just before midnight ensured we bought in the New Year with a bang.”
Noosa Reef Hotel venue manager Terence Lunney said their bistro was also busy with families and children.
“It was a great dinner service,” he said. “We were very busy, but it was a wonderful evening.”
Mr Lunney said many patrons headed downstairs to SODA nightclub after dinner to dance the night away to the sounds of Ministry of Sound’s Mobin Master.
“There were glowsticks and LED lights everywhere. A great night had by all,” Mr Lunney said.
