Bar Liberty, Capitano, Meatsmith alumni join Pidapipo for ‘New El Paso’ at Johnny’s Green Room.
On Sunday, 11 April, hospitality heavyweights are joining forces for a once-off Tex-Mex extravaganza at Johnny’s Green Room. Taking over the rooftop bar will be Casey Wall (chef/owner at Bar Liberty and Capitano) and Chris Watson (Meatsmith and Wats-on the BBQ), slinging delicious Mexican/American-inspired dishes on the day.

Kicking off at midday, DJ Chico G will be spinning tunes and bringing the party vibes from the afternoon into the evening. A special one-time-only gelato taco from gelateria (and Johnny’s neighbour) Pidapipo will round out the menu with the perfect sweet finale. Garage Project will also have their Golden Path IPA on tap to sip (for only $12 a pint) and enjoy the city views whilst you chow down on delicious tacos and quesadillas.
