That's right, it's us!

The Ombibulous Project is open not one, not two, but FOUR nights this week! 🍹

Whether you're a regular or a newbie, we promise you'll feel right at home at our bar 🥂

So mark your calendars and get ready for a week of good drinks, great vibes, and the occasional bad joke from our friendly staff 😀

See you soon!!!

Dearest Port Fairians and cocktail enthusiasts ...

Today we have heavy hearts and slightly shaky hands (probably from all the Ombibulous dark n Stormy's) to announce that after 2 1/2 years of serving up delicious libations and good times, we have made the difficult decision to close our doors on 22 April ...
.. that's right, we are closing our doors for good in just 3 weeks!

Our decision was not an easy one, and it comes with a heavy dose of sadness and nostalgia.

Unfortunately, our personal health challenges over the past 18 months have left us unable to shake, stir, and pour with the level of excellence you know and love. If we could just drink some kombucha and magically cure ourselves, we would, but it's not that simple.

We've had the pleasure of mixing drinks for some of the best customers in the world, and we're grateful for every conversation, laugh, and 🍻 that we've shared together. All we can hope is that we hope that we have brought as much joy and happiness to you as you have brought to us.

To our staff, past and present, we cannot thank you enough for your bringing your creativity, passion, and willingness to learn, and for your unwavering commitment to providing the best possible experience for our guests. You are the best team we could have asked for and have all been an integral part of our Ombibulous family.

To our suppliers, we really couldn't have done this with out your fabulous products! Thank you 🙏

We'll deeply miss our little bar and all it brought to us, but this is not goodbye! We will see you around this fabulous town we call home, and if you see us, feel free to buy us a drink (just kidding, but seriously ... 🍸)

With gratitude,

Damon and Leesa
Your Ministers of Ombibulous Studies

Last chance to have perform for you tonight.

Zi craves the open country, featuring a folk style inspired by his favourite storytelling musicians. His blend of old favourites and his own originals will take you down the wide sweeping road.

You’ll hear acoustic tunes that hold a dear place in his heart, from The Lumineers to Angus and Julia Stone, and from Boy and Bear to Mumford and Sons. There’ll be a song to bring back a sweet memory and something new you’ll love. And if nothing else, he’ll get your foot tapping

Doors open at 4pm, Zi from 5pm.
