25.01.2022 We might be shut, but you can still get some delicious beverages from the talented Chad Parkhill at the Trouble in Dreams pop up next door!! Grab for tonight or tomorrow’s socially distanced park outing... read on for more details. Posted @withregram @troubleindreams OPEN TONIGHT It’s all starting to feel a bit Groundhog Day, isn’t it? ... We might not be able to solve the COVID crisis, but we do have the cure for the monotony of another weekend of isobreak it up with some delicious drinks from our pop-up shop. Swing by 297 Barkly St, Footscray, from 5pm-8pm tonight (Saturday) to grab original cocktails, minimal intervention wine, and crispy beers. As a plus, you’ll get to talk to a human being* outside of your household or Zoom contacts list! * With appropriate social distancing and a mask on, of course. It’s only going to go on longer if we don’t play by the rules. #poppingup #popupshop #isolationlife #quarantinelife #footscray #footscraydrinks #buyinnerwest #stayhome #pickyourpoison #troubleindreams

19.01.2022 We lost another one of our old dog regulars this week. Little Emma had a wonderful life and was often seen multiple times a week at the bar until dogs were banned. Her shadow is also immortalized in paint in our women’s bathroom. Rest in pats Emma.

17.01.2022 Nothing like a Pie Thief pie to soothe the soul after the EPIC last couple of days. Those that visited Friday/Saturday - thank you all so much and apologies for our rustiness - not only have we not been working for most of the last six months - table service is certainly a big adjustment for Josephine! We’ve had a lot of fun though - and it has been so so wonderful to see all our regulars’ faces after so so long. For all those FB message requests we haven’t got to yet - we’...ll be working through them this morning from oldest to newest, so rest assured that if the booking spot was available days ago, it’s still there for you. After this weekend, we’ll make some changes to steps of service to hopefully get everything running a little smoother! Thank you all again - we are VERY HAPPY TO BE BACK!

16.01.2022 We’re ready to go! Please be patient - we’re sure to be rusty. Remember, masks on at all times unless seated. Can’t wait to see you all!

16.01.2022 While we lay dormant at Josephine, Aaron Donato and Scott Blomfield have been busy writing... If you want to support us and Pie Thief - please preorder this book! It is full of highs, lows, delicious recipes and fun pictures from Matt Hobson & Jessica Wilson

15.01.2022 Oh hey! Look, we know you’re eager. So are we. Those doors will swing open as soon as we can. And we really appreciate the deluge of messages and booking requests - we are still working out what form that will take. There’s been some exciting changes during lockdown - the place is a bomb site at the moment, but we hope to get you all in... this... FRIDAY!

05.01.2022 As things start to relax and our capacity creeps back to almost normal (check out our new DOUBLE SIZE beer garden!) we’re going to roll back bookings. Feel free to shoot us a message if you’re a group of six or more, but we’re almost at a stage where you’ll be welcome to just walk in anytime. Much love - so great to see all your faces again!

04.01.2022 No more bookings Friday/Saturday - we want to give as much space to walk ins as possible. If you’d like to book for after this - Facebook message is best. We’ll endeavor to respond to all messages as soon as we can. Much love!
