We often get asked about the murals and artworks in the bar, we would like to give an extra special shout out to local resident and artist Brad Robson who has recently returned from an artist residency in New York. Brad painted the mural in one of the booths and more recently the back hallway. If you can't find him drinking at the bar you can find him HERE




Accomplished as a conventional marketing and advertising designer, where he lends his unique brand of design sensibility to selling day-to-day products in a usually happy and upbeat manner – by comparison, Brad’s expressive arts practice is a twisting 360 degree paradox. Images creep out from within deep dark recesses of an emotional world of loneliness, decay and an almost surrealist sense of warped time bumping into warped space. 




Keep an eye out for some live painting and drawing when the weather warms up in the bar. 

Check out some cool video production done by some of our local artists.
