25.01.2022 HAPPY CONVOY DAY HAPPY CONVOY DAY

23.01.2022 Thanks to all the local businesses who've reached out and locked away a spot already at this year's Melbourne Cup Garden Party. Your support continues to amaze us If you haven't booked yet, the link is in the event to book directly. It truly is going to be a magical day and we'd love to have ya.

23.01.2022 SantaFest Pub Crawl for Charity - Wollongong has been there to support the bars and pubs of Wollongong for years. For many venues, it's marked as the biggest day of the year and we have Webby, his team and of course NGH to thank for that. With this in mind, we're committed to throwing everything we've got at one final fundraising push before Christmas this year. Even if it means calling a temporary Retro-Truce. So, as a special Xmas gift to the passionate retro lovers out... there, Retro Rob will take you on a special Journey into Retro's Biggest Hits as he bangs out one not to be missed, Retro Headline Set! Support by our faves, The Illa House Band Entry will be free before 8pm with 100% of the door revenue and 10% of the bar revenue being donated to Santafest! Also, if you bring a receipt from any Hospitality Venue in Wollongong's CBD dated that day, entry will be Free & Express before 10pm so get out there and spread the love (We'll donate the cover charge on your behalf)!

22.01.2022 General Sales went live this morning and we're already 50% sold out! Jump on our website and snap up your spot in our Courtyard Party. First Responders, please use the code "First" when booking. Thank you once again for your support. It really does mean the world.

20.01.2022 His Boy Elroy, you guys are a serious inspiration to us here. Thank you for continually raising the bar of what a small business with a huge heart can achieve in the community. In other news, the burger is bloody delicious and is perfectly washed down with a big cold schooey of NEIPA!

19.01.2022 **Hospitality Family** We've teamed up with our legendary neighbours and have stumped up a weekly $1,000 bar tab to get you through the rollercoster ride that is the Silly Season! $10 Fatboys + Chips from 7 to 8pm at His Boy Elroy... $1,000 Bar Tab* + $5 Fosters tinnies from 9pm at The Illawarra 20% off until midnight at FatBoy Pide & Grill Come celebrate the birth of the Keira Street Crawl this Monday *Show your comp card. Management reserves the right to pull the TAB at anytime if it compromises our RSA obligations. One drink per person. No stock piling etc etc.

19.01.2022 Just a reminder we're taking walk-ins after 9 tonight and it's looking like an absolute monster! So big infact, we've decided to stay open relatively late. Come stand and dance (stance) in our Courtyard!

18.01.2022 Tonight! Disco Bingo from 8pm - BOOKED OUT Dancing from 10pm

18.01.2022 Ryan, our Publican, hasn't shown his face around the pub today, this is very out of character for him. My guess would be that his concerned about the floggin NSW are going to give QLD tonight. Book your table, put your Blues jersey on and pop in for some pre game Trivia with Crammy @ 7pm. Maroons fans welcome, Mel will have tissues for your tears at the end of the match. GAME ON!

17.01.2022 What a result. It's great to see the community getting behind this bunch of talented local musos who have busted arse to put together a show quite unique to the Gong. TIHB decided to totally rebuilt their set 3 weeks ago because 60 high impact party tunes in 2 hours was a recipe for disaster when you can't dance your heart out. The result is a damn entertaining show fronted by the extremely talented Dale Oz, guitars from The Sex Panthers and some talented Illa staff (drummer... questionable) If you're keen to check them out this weekend, book in for Saturday and/or walk-in on either days to join the fun. You won't be disappointed. Thanks again!

17.01.2022 Melbourne Cup 2020

15.01.2022 TOMORROW IS HAPPENING Here's the Courtyard Cans & Can'ts. YOU CAN:... Stand & Dance Twerk S@#t drop Scream Abba Lyrics Call the publican a dog for taking Retro away from youse Cry tears of joy when you see Retro Rob on stage once agin. YOU CAN'T: Dance on top of each other aka. Mosh Crowd the front of the stage Make out with strangers unless you're willing to make a 14 day commitment Mention the colour of Jerry's beard or the fact that he's bald when he's throwing you out. He can grow hair if he wants, he just swims professionally. Touch any unnecessary surfaces Drink too much IMPORTANTLY: If you've been up to the northern part of Sydney and/or have flu symptoms, sit this one out aye. The Gong has been an oasis from all this and we don't want that to change. If we see repeated bad behavour, the ugly lights will quickly appear and you'll be politely asked to make your way home to think about your choices as a collective group.

04.01.2022 Bledisloe Cup today live and loud from 130pm. If we've learnt anything this year it's that 2020 is pretty weird and there's nothing weirder (or more enjoyable) than beating the All Blacks. Let's hope the Wallabies got the memo. #bringbackthecup
