It’s time to wrap up all the posting and news sharing for 2024 as we all take a little break before a big new era of Australian Bartender magazine and Sydney Bar Week kicks off in 2025, with new owners, Yaffa at the helm. So, let’s sign off on another epic year; we look back at the 10 most-read stories of the past 12 months.
A lot of the warmth and hospitality at Bar Bellamy comes down to the warmth of their host and co-owner, Dani Whiteheart. She recently took out the award for Host of the Year at this year’s Bartender Magazine Australian Bar Awards. We chatted with her about Melbourne, bars and how to be a great host.
Yaffa Media, one of Australia’s largest independent media companies whose portfolio includes AdNews, Food & Drink Business and Ragtrader, has acquired Spanton Media Group and all its assets, including industry-leading title Australian Bartender magazine and the Sydney Bar Week events.
2024 has been a massive year for Jac Landmark.

We sat down with Jac to chat about their epic year, their new role, and what the future holds.
