Flamingos Live, formerly Lizotte’s, continues to be Newcastle’s go-to spot for electrifying live music and exceptional dining. Though we’ve taken on a new name, the essence of Lizotte’s remains unchanged—same great atmosphere, same fantastic experiences and it’s still one of Australia’s most beloved and respected entertainment venues.
Nestled beside the scenic Lambton Park, Flamingos Live blends its rich heritage with a flamboyant, cozy ambiance. Our iconic Art Deco theatre pairs exceptional à la carte dining with world-class live performances, ensuring every visit is an unforgettable one. Whether you’re enjoying the full Dinner & Show package or a Show Only ticket, Flamingos Live promises great food, entertainment, and memories.

For Sunday matinees, it’s best to arrive at least an hour earlier to fully enjoy the à la carte experience before the music begins.
