What’s Open in Sydney on New Year’s Day 2026

Do you need coffee, like, now? Or maybe the plan is for some hair of the dog? If we’re being honest, it will probably end up being a little bit of both.

What better way is there to ring in the new year than with a good coffee and a great meal? These places are staying open on this day off to make sure that you start your year off on the right foot.
