Holy beer price, Batman! As if $13 Sours wasn't enough, Sundays & Mondays you can also wash off your day's work with a jug of Prudence Lager for $12 a pop. ($6 if you have a partner in crime). Lily's lost the plot on this one. 🙌 Come 'n get it!

[UPDATED! All sours, baby. Whiskey, Sloe Gin, Amaretto & Aperol.] We're entering the dreaded months where people start coughing on you on public transport and wiping out the sick-leave you were saving up for big nights out. Luckily the best way to ward off (or cure, you sicko) these problems is a cheeky $13 Sours from your old pal Pru -- only on Sundays and Mondays. Cure what ails ye. 💕 xx

Happy Valentins - we’re romantics at heart, of course. So don’t forget you can treat your lover, your friend or your mother (hopefully they’re not the same person) to a $5 tinnie before 6pm! Buy one get love free. xx

We’ll be closed from Sunday 23/12, re-opening Friday 04/01. Get your fill before you’re stranded this Christmas! Tinnies still $4 before 5.30pm, shots still $7 all the time, beers and company still better than anyone around.
