MONTHY CHARITY RAFFLES ARE BACK

Love the sound of a monthly Friday raffle, that raises funds for organisations and charities that directly support our community?

Join us tonight from 5pm for all of the above!

All ticket sales will be donated to for continued research and support for women struggling with this awful condition and to help advocate for women who have their symptoms overlooked.

While this may not be our usual ‘grassroots’ style for our monthly raffles, this one is extremely close to home for many of the women in the Penni Ave community and in our staff.

Come along for some evening drinks and dinner, get your tickets, bring the family, support Endometriosis awareness month and win some prizes in the process!

Can’t wait that long? We’re open now!

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY

At Penni Ave, women make up 67% of our team - so the “Yeah the Girls” energy is strong every day, but especially today. Even more special is that the business itself was founded by a woman, in the traditionally male-dominated distilling industry due to her passion for hobby distilling.

We’re incredibly lucky to have such an amazing crew, and we’d be lost without our powerhouse team of women:
Our fearless leader, owner/operator, distiller and founder, Genevieve.
Em, across marketing, design, events and the bar.
The beating heart of our cafe, Tiff.
Our bar legends Peppa, Faith and Samara,
and our wonderful cafe queens, Hannah, Lily, Ella and Chloe.

Today we’re raising a glass to the women who make this place what it is - and to the girl gangs, sisters, mums, wives, aunts and daughters within our community and everywhere.

Happy international women’s day 🧡

Welcome to Penni Ave.

Penni Ave is crafted on the Peninsula, by people with a love for good hospitality. We can’t wait to bring you our range of Gin and Vodka (and one day, hopefully whiskey too!).

Covid-19 has thrown a very unexpected spanner into our distillery works, but we are kicking off our business by helping our community and distilling our own Hand Sanitiser! How amazing is a good old public gathering going to be?

But for now, stay safe whilst we perfect the perfect drink to cheers with once this is all over. Exciting things to come.

Stay tuned! With love from the Penni Ave team. x
