Get Yr 90s Fix With Warhead Cocktails & Free Tamagotchis At This Syd Club

There are a lot of things that people feel jealousy about over the course of their lives and relationships. But if you asked me now, a grown adult woman, what moment in life made her feel the most intense jealousy she has ever felt, I would have only one word to say to you. Tamagotchi.

It happened when I went to my cousin’s house in the 90s, and discovered that he had not one, but two of the adorable digital pets I coveted so much. TWO. I had 0% Tamagotchi, and 100% jealousy.

Considering responsibility and having to care for another creature other than yourself are some of the most annoying parts of being an adult, it remains a mystery as to why an entire generation was obsessed with the little hungry beeping never-sleeping creatures that we carried in our pockets and tried to keep alive. But we were.

And now, you have the chance to become obsessed with the little fellas yet again, with a Sydney bar holding a throwback night that includes a FREE TAMAGOTCHI to the first 250 people through the door. FREE. TAMAGOTCHI. Not only can they be valuable in a monetary sense, they are invaluable in the nostalgia stakes. You can once again hold a tiny life in your hands, until you accidentally kill it by letting it shit everywhere too much.

Just look at these babies, all laid out and waiting for you to come adopt them.

The El Topo Basement in Bondi‘s The Eastern is not only holding a throwback night that involves Tamagotchi, but is giving you the chance to absolutely get saturated in all the things from the 90s that your life has been severely lacking. The description of the event informs you of what the vibe of the thing is going to be.

The angsty 1990s were behind us, the dotcom bubble was swelling and yet to come was the market bust and “war on terror”. Y2K – the supposed turn-of-the-century bug that would bring our infrastructure to a terrifying halt – had failed to materialise and for a brief moment there was nothing but glittering utopian futurism and faith in a new age of boundless possibility.

The night itself holds boundless possibilities, with a competition and prizes for the best 90s/2000’s outfit. For this we suggest you crack out your best complete denim suit, which is obviously a prize in itself and for anyone who witnesses your glory.

On top of that, there will be Warhead and Push Pop (don’t push me, push a push pop) cocktails on offer, which could either be amazing, or make you regret that you were ever born in or around this era. Or at all. And of course, the DJ will be spinning classic 90s tunes all night, which is honestly what should happen all night, every night.

It’s all happening on Friday the 1st of September, and there is free entry. Check out the event page here to make sure you are one of the lucky 250 who will go home after clubbing with the hottest person in the bar, a Tamagotchi.
