On arrival at "Your Sunday Best", you'll get a complimentary cocktail and a snack, and from there the menu is available to purchase all afternoon.
And why not enjoy a spin on the Love Boat, a 103-year-old cruiser, that will take you on a scenic journey from the pontoon at Armada around Lake Burley Griffin.
Tickets for the afternoon are $50, which includes a welcome cocktail and snack, as well as access to all the entertainment and boat rides.
Get the gang together for one last hurrah and come dressed in your Sunday best.
It's been a successful third season for the Armada Bar at The Boat House. The bigger marquee, it was 20 per cent larger than other years, has proven popular. And modifications enabled it to be changed up for inclement weather.
Monster + Archie Rose
Forget wine matching, this five-course dinner at Monster Kitchen and Bar features booze in every dish.
In a collaboration with Archie Rose Distilling Co, executive chef Matthew Bentleys is serving up a mouthwatering all-vegetarian menu that will be complemented by an amazing portfolio of spirits and craft cocktails.
Think bao buns with fancy molasses rum, rye malt whiskey ice cream and strawberry sorbet with sunrise lime gin.
And to top it all off, the menu will be paired with complementary curated cocktails.
"I am excited to collaborate with Australia's own boutique distillery, Archie Rose," Bentleys says.
"It will give us a chance to showcase a completely plant-based menu, paired with Australian spirits, and get a little bit creative."
Archie Rose ambassador Dan Richie said he has been eager to collaborate with Monster Kitchen for quite some time.
"Innovation is one of our core values at Archie Rose so collaborating with Monster, a restaurant that is pushing the boundaries of what vegetarian dining can be, makes perfect sense to showcase and celebrate Australian produce," he said.
The dinner is on March 29, at 6pm. Tickets are $147.
