The spaces
Five rooms, one pub
Book a corner or take over a whole space. We'll suggest the right one for your numbers and the kind of night you want.
The Beer Garden
Our open-air garden, made for long afternoons and big groups. Take a corner for a birthday or the whole garden for a crowd.
The Front Bar
Right in the thick of it by the main bar. Good for after-work drinks and catch-ups that run on.
The Bistro
The calmer side of the pub, set for sit-down dining. Suits long lunches, family dinners and banquets.
The Front Terrace
Out front on Lonsdale Street. A smaller spot for drinks and canapés with the street going by.
The Sports Bar
Every game on the big screens. Book it for the grand final, a fight night or the team's end-of-season.
Package 01 · 10+ people
Canapés
$40 per person
Stand around, graze, talk. The mingling option.
Built for rooms where nobody sits down. Food comes out in waves across your booking so there's always something arriving, and everything is one-hand food, no cutlery, no plates to juggle. Best for Christmas drinks, work wrap-ups and engagement parties where people move around and the night runs long.

Package 02 · 10+ guests
Classic Banquet
$50 per person
Shared starters, everyone picks a main. The crowd-pleaser.
Entrees land in the middle of the table to share, then everyone gets the main they chose. It's the safest bet for a mixed group: any burger off the menu, schnitty, nachos, a katsu bowl and a proper salad all sit on the one list, so nobody is stuck with a compromise. Mains are pre-ordered, so service is quick once you're seated.

Package 03 · 20 to 70 guests
Premium Banquet
$60 per person
Tartare and calamari to start. Steaks and barramundi to follow.
The same shared-then-choose format as the Classic, with the kitchen's better cuts on the list: MSA-rated steaks, and crispy skin barramundi. Worth the extra ten dollars a head when the occasion needs to feel like an occasion: the team Christmas lunch, client dinners, milestone birthdays.

Large groups
Let's talk
Seventy guests or more? The whole thing gets built around you.
Once a group passes seventy, a set package stops being the right tool. At this size we plan the event with you: the space, the format, the food and the drinks, all shaped to your numbers and your budget. Most groups this big run two dishes served alternately so everyone eats at once, but that's a starting point, not a rule. Tell us the occasion, the headcount and roughly what you want to spend, and we'll come back with a plan and a price.
- What is alternate drop?
- Two dishes served alternately around the table. It's the fastest way to feed a big room well.
- Can we choose the dishes?
- Yes. We'll propose a pairing from the seasonal menu and adjust it with you when you book.
- How is it priced?
- There's no fixed per-head rate at this size. Tell us your numbers and budget and we'll come back with a plan, usually a food and bar tab with a minimum spend set by how long you're with us.
