Hey crew! Tonight is getting pretty well booked up. We'll do a few door sales, so if you want to roll in before the show, you're welcome to bring cash for the door — that'll be fine this weekend. But it's always better to book, so let us know if you're coming and we'll put aside a spot for you.
Cory's on at 8pm, dinner and doors from 6pm if anyone wants to come along for a $40 one-course buffet.

ONE MORE SLEEP until Cory Gonzalez is here!

We're all really looking forward to this one. There's still a little bit of room left, so if you've been meaning to book now's the time — call us direct or grab a ticket online at Eventfinda.

How the night runs

Doors and dinner from 6pm. Show starts at 8pm.

If you're just coming for the show, turn up around 7:30pm to grab your seat and a pre-show drink.

Dinner

Please book ahead — plenty already have. It's a one course $40 buffet: two meats, loads of different salads and plenty of hot vegetarian options. It's a huge feed and genuinely good value. You won't be disappointed.

Desserts are available on top, whether you're doing the buffet or just after something sweet. There's also a snacks menu running through the evening.

Bar opens at 6pm and we'll wrap up around 10pm.

Saturday 5 September. Head online or give us a call to book your spot.
