NYE 2023 - Noches de Neón (Neon Nights!)


  • Pastuso 19 AC/DC Lane Melbourne, VIC, 3000 Australia (map)

Tap into the rhythm of modern Peruvian beats and cuisine to light up your NYE

Welcome to an unforgettable New Year's Eve extravaganza at Pastuso: introducing Noches de Neón (Neon Nights)!

This year, we're bringing in 2024 with a bang, and we can't wait to celebrate with you.

As you step through our doors, at the end of AC/DC Lane, you'll be transported into a world where the vibrant beat of contemporary Peruvian culture meets the rhythms of Latin America.

Our restaurant will bring the energy all night long, thanks to live music from Producer and DJ Naoto! With previous residencies at Ferdydurke, Section 8 and The Toff, his fresh and vibrant music incorporates Latin influence and the rhythm of bongo percussion.

Two exclusive sittings will boast delicious set menus curated by Head Chef Dwi Ayu, and complimentary drinks on arrival will set the tone for a vibrant, celebratory evening.

Get ready to sip, savour, and celebrate as we ring in the New Year like never before at Noches de Neón. This is a night you won't want to miss!
