After dark

Long afternoons outside. Louder nights inside.

The beer garden is the spot for a long Parkes afternoon. Grab a table outdoors with a cold beer and a plate of something hearty, with happy hour prices to match.

When the weekend arrives, so do the DJ and the bands. It’s a cosy dinner by early evening and a dance floor by late.

Birthdays, catch-ups, big tables and bigger nights are all welcome. Ring the team to plan yours.
