Well, Monday nights might actually be onto something 👀

Our very first Sunshine Social Quiz Night is officially in the books — good teams, questionable answers, plenty of pints and a bloody good time.

Thanks to everyone who came down and helped us kick this thing off 🫶

And apparently word travels fast… we’ve only got 3 team spots left for next Monday.

Grab your crew, think of a mildly inappropriate team name and get yourselves booked in.

Every Monday | 6:30pm
Teams of up to 6 | Free entry
Book at the bar or give us a call.

Get out there.

Spaces are limited, so swing into the taproom to book and pay.

Good beer, good kai and Dad gets to learn where the good stuff comes from. Not a bad Sundeeey ☀️
