What's Open in Sydney on the King's Birthday 2025

King Charles III is Australia’s official head of state. That has very little bearing on how we live our lives day-to-day, with a couple of exceptions. The most noteworthy? The King’s Birthday public holiday. The King’s actual birthday is in November, but most Commonwealth states officially celebrate his birthday on a different date that’s better suited to a day off.

This year, the public holiday falls on Monday, June 9. These are the restaurants, bars and cafes staying open to help you make the most of it.
