A huge shoutout to the team at Sky for getting our TVs back up and running! 🙌📺

That means we're one step closer to opening the doors and settling in for a winter packed with epic sport, great atmosphere, and a few TAB punts along the way. 🏉🏇⚽

And that's not all...
We've got a couple of exciting surprises in the works as our new screens are being prepared for installation. I don't want to brag, but when you're talking about 85 inches of stunning 4K high-definition viewing, it's hard not to get a little excited! 😎🔥

Whether you're here to catch the big game, cheer on your team, or just enjoy the action with mates, these screens are going to take the viewing experience to the next level.

We're getting closer every single day. There's still plenty to do behind the scenes, but seeing everything come together is incredibly exciting. The countdown is well and truly on now!
Watch this space, team — it won't be long before we're welcoming you through the doors. 🍻🎉

We know you guys loved the holes in the roof above the pool table but it’s time to say goodbye and move on.

Normally I love cutting in but when you have 10 beams to do, I’m currently questioning my life choices. 🤣👍🤣

Onwards and upwards as the place is starting to take shape.

🚨 FREE TO A GOOD HOME 🚨

Who wants a piece of Admirals Arms Coromandel history? 🍻🎶
We’re giving away our stage — FREE — and would love to see it go to a school, community group, marae, club, or anyone who could give it a second life in the community. ❤️

That said… if nobody local needs it, it would also make an epic addition to a mancave, woolshed, garage bar, or entertainment space. 🍺🔥
✅ Solidly built
✅ Timber in great condition
✅ Approx. 3.6m x 3m with angled frontage

The carpet is a bit shabby, but could easily be ripped off and replaced.

⚡ WE NEED THIS GONE ASAP ⚡
Pickup today would be ideal if possible.
Please message us directly if you’re interested or know someone who might want it.

Let’s get this legendary stage a new home! 👏

Big shoutout to Tony, who recently had the privilege of sitting down with Rob from Coromandel's CFM to chat all things Admirals Arms Coromandel 🍻🎙️

The podcast is now live on Spotify if you’re keen for a listen! They dive into the journey so far, the challenges along the way, the exciting future ahead… and, as you’d expect, there were plenty of laughs mixed in too 😄

Tony also wanted to make one thing very clear — while he somehow keeps getting volunteered as the “mouthpiece” for interviews and updates, Admirals Arms has always been a true team effort. Behind the scenes is a hardworking crew of passionate, committed legends helping bring this project to life every single day.

From builders to lawyers and accountants, planners to problem-solvers, coffee-makers to crisis-managers… this pub wouldn’t exist without the people backing it 💙

So if you tune in, know you’re hearing the story of an entire team — not just the bloke holding the microphone 🍺

Enjoy the podcast, and thanks for being part of the journey with us!

You know sh*ts getting serious when the digger turns up. Old gardens gone, trees replanted, historic rubbish pile cleared and the rock garden taking shape. Huge thanks to Jaydon for his skills and to Josh for the digger. Bloody legends

Another step forward as the team from Lion install the new beer system, lines and taps. Damn these lads know how to work hard. Early starts, late finishes and no breaks. Much Respect. Loving the new Guinness and Steiny Cold Towers. Today it felt like the finish line was a few steps closer.
