25.01.2022 THE SAKURA BAR - COME AS YOU ARE. Bad Mama is all about sensual indulgence. Sip a Negroni at the heavenly Sakura Bar under the smiling gaze of Ji Gong.... The Drunk Monk watches over the bar as he guides the fate of your night out. 2020 is the year of comfort food, and it doesn’t get much better than Popcorn Fish & Teriyaki Buffalo Wings. These dishes are the most fun your mouth’s had since it’s first successful kiss. So come by & pull up a pew at Bad Mama. You’ve earned it.

25.01.2022 I never broke the Law! I AM THE LAW!! Tonight - as part of our February Monday Night Movie Theme: "Great originals that were really really badly remade" we have 1995s Judge Dredd. (Go easy on the lippy Sly...) 7.30pm, free popcorn, Happy Hour Drink Prices all night!

25.01.2022 Buffalo Wings. Theyre a little bit spicy, theyre a little bit sticky - theyre basically the most fun your mouths had since its first successful kiss. Available in standard size (pictured) or a 1kg indulgent feast serving. Moderation in all things... including moderation!

24.01.2022 Billie McCarthy is a country girl who took the jazz bus to the city and had a dirty love affair in a back lane with Neo Soul. Shes sassy, sensational, and shes takin over Bad Mamas Dungeon TONIGHT! Drawing on the likes of Billie Holiday, Jill Scott, Joni Mitchell and Blossom Dearie she has developed her own unique smoky brew of jazz diva, soul songstress, folk balladeer and cabaret comedienne.... Her extremely able partners in mischief are the brilliant Ben Panucci on Guitar & Jazzy Jonathan Zwartz on the Double Trouble Bass. Her take on Willie Nelsons Georgia is sublime. 7.30pm Tuesday Feb 18th - great food, great drinks, free entry & priceless atmosphere. Cheers! For more info on Bad Mama visit http://badmamabar.com/

24.01.2022 We’d just like to say THANKS SO MUCH for all the support you’ve shown us over the years. And if the future can be foreseen...... ...we very much look forward to seeing you all again in around 6 months from now. So between now & then, we wish you all the very best of health & happiness in these strange & unsettling times. All the very best from Gemma & Adam, Bad Mama.

24.01.2022 Hey Blues fans - the Bad Mama Blues Bandits take over Bad Mamas Dungeon again tonight to wreak musical magic & havoc in equal amounts. Its the Jam of Jams. Orchestrated by Greg Nunan - its become a wild rollicking mountain of fun & fabulous music each Wednesday Night from 8pm. Maybe the well stocked Whisky Bar nearby has something to do with it being so successful? Maybe its the great food readily available? But mostly we think its the power of great live music - where all are welcome to descend underground, climb onstage & join in. For more on Bad Mama visit http://badmamabar.com/ Cheers!

22.01.2022 Of course it’s last minute but they’ve only just allowed us to have groups of more than 10 people! So next Tuesday - why not Frock Up & Rock Up to Bad Mama to watch The Melbourne Cup on our spectacular Big Screen? Our bars are well stocked with Wine, Bubbles & Cocktails - as after all it’s 2020 & you’ve earned a drink!... So we need your lunchtime group to be at least 10 people or more. The maximum size allowed is 30 people. For more information on Banquet Menus and Bookings contact the Bad Mama herself: [email protected] Cheers, beers & tears of joy at the nearing end of 2020 we’ll drink to that!

21.01.2022 MONDAY NIGHT MOVIE! Februarys Monday Movies feature Original Classic Films that were really really really badly remade. So tonight we have Paul Verhoevens brilliant "Robocop". There are many reasons why RoboCop endures as one of the best films of the 1980s, but one of them stands out from the rest: its so many things at once. Its a sharp corporate satire. Its a violent action movie. Its a pitch-black comedy. Its a science fiction film about mortality and technology. Bu...t as well as all that, its a classic crime film. 7.30pm tonight - free entry, free popcorn & Happy Hour Drink prices all night. Cheers!
