A Waymouth Street fixture where live music takes center stage—stripped bare of pokies and blaring TV screens. Crowds pack tight against the low stage for original acts and Monday night’s Billy Bob’s BBQ Jam, while cold Coopers flows at the front bar. With no house kitchen on-site, regulars order takeaway delivery directly to their booth or catch snags sizzling off the backyard grill.
- Live Music, No Pokies: Intimate gigs run nightly on a compact back stage, free of gaming machines or TV screens.
- Billy Bob’s BBQ Jam: Monday open-mic sessions hosted by Billy Bob pair raw local sets with backyard barbecue sausages.
- BYO Food Friendly: Patrons can bring outside takeaway or order delivery directly into the bar.
