Last Call for Monkfish….

A note to say thank you for everything. Our last service will be 31/10/26.

The last 5 years haven’t been easy, but they’ve been made worthwhile by every single soul that’s had some input at Monkfish.

Whether you’ve worked a shift, ran the venue, made us a poster, built us a ladder, been a great supplier or simply pulled up seat and grabbed a can from the fridge. A genuine thank you for backing us.

Many of you may well be aware that Dawson will be taking on the lease at 124 Vivian St and turning the venue into his own concept. We wish him all the best.

We’ve poured some exquisite p**s over our time, it’s a good run, we’ve loved it, not every minute but let’s say every quarter of an hour.

Right now it’s about health and happiness and some things in life are far more important…...more important even than b**r. 🍻 🍺

So nice we’re doing it twice!

Year 4 of the fresh hop festival in the laneway and we’ve pulled out all the stops for this one. We will be hosting more breweries and more b**rs this year than ever before and stretching it across 2 weekends to make sure we catch as many b**rs as fresh as possible.

We even have our good mates doing a bespoke menu for the event which is hectic!
