Front bar and froff shop

An ode to the iconic Aussie Public Bar, Bod’s Front Bar is for pulling up a pew and chatting with the bar staff while watching the game on the TV.

The unofficial Bod Squad clubhouse, the Front Bar hosts beer releases, supplies the merch shop and services as the takeaway bottle-o.

Sit outside on the benches or amongst the cosy corners inside. Beer, cocktails, wine and a snack menu are available to order.
