WHY GEN Z IS DITCHING THE LIVING ROOM FOR PRE DRINKS AT THE BAR
Why stress about cleaning your house, waiting for your siblings to vacate, and praying no one pukes on the sofa… when you could skip the drama entirely? House parties were fun, sure, but these days, Gen Z is finding a smarter, sassier, and way more Instagrammable way to kick off the night.
BOUJEE COCKTAILS
Your mixing skills could use… let’s just say, a lot of help. But why even bother? Gen Z party-goers know their limits—they’re not looking to play bartender and risk warm drinks or a mess. That’s why The Valiant does it all for you: Y2K (Gossip Girl Serena vibes), Call Me By Your Name with peach, coconut cream, vanilla, and spiced rum, Hot Girl Summer for tropical fun, and Angel Tears, sparkling with literal gold flakes, elderflower, and prosecco. Pre-drinks at home? Sorry, they just can’t compete with this.
SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCE
With the rise of the influencers and UGC content creators gen z party goers are looking for the next hotspot to post on the gram. Camera eats first, every single time. Even if it’s just a Pornstar Martini and a Margherita pizza. Taking cute pics has basically become a sport, as everyone races to capture the perfect cocktail aesthetic… before the night goes sideways and someone ends up hugging the toilet.
AFFORDABILITY
Say goodbye to overpriced vodka cruisers that taste like Smiggle highlighters. Herding friends to BYO, juggling mixers, and serving warm drinks in plastic cups? Hard pass. Gen Z wants choice, quality, and top-tier vibes without the hassle. That’s why bottomless brunch is a no-brainer—$79 gets you unlimited cocktails, beer, wine, and snacks. Try doing that from your living room
It’s officially confirmed, pre dirnking at the bar slaps harder than your sofa ever could. Join gen z in exploring Melborune’s hottest bars to pre at.
