Monday & Tuesday Two-for-Ones+

STONEGRILLS
Every Monday and Tuesday we offer stonegrill meals – two for the price of one (the meal of lesser value is free)!
If you haven’t had a Stonegrill meal before you should try it out - your food is cooked by YOU, at your table, on a 400 degree Celsius volcanic rock, with no added fats or oils. Just like a mini BBQ, cooked to perfection because you cooked it!
This deal is available Monday and Tuesday*, Midday – 1.30pm, and then again from 5.30pm onwards. We only have a limited number of stones (and they take a good few hours in the oven to heat back up) so they're only available on a first-in, first-served basis. Get in quick so you don't miss out!
*
excluding public holidays
STEAKS AND BURGERS
If stonegrills don't tickle your fancy (or you missed out), never fear - we have 2 of our Porterhouse Steak meals for $35, or any 2 of our Burgers for $30 (excluding our Wellington on a Plate burger). These deals are on every Monday and Tuesday* evening, from 5.30pm.
*excluding public holidays

Book Club with Arty Bees+

Read any good books lately? Itching to talk about them? Go on then! We'd love you to come along and cosy up with a glass of wine or hot chocolate, friends, and a book of your choice - in this book club there’s no specific book you have to pretend to have read; we’re thinking more relaxed, informal discussion with like-minded readers about book... related... stuff. Sound good? Good!
The Southern Cross Book Club exists with a little help from our friends at Arty Bees Books. We meet on the second Monday of every month at 6pm in the Lounge, first on the right as you arrive... and if you can read this, you may as well join us!

The Arvo Show with Oscar Laven Organ Trio+

A hard-digging trio fronted by eclectic saxophonist Oscar Laven, featuring the organ talents of Ayrton Foote (Wellington Mingus Ensemble, C-26) and the artful drumming of Darren Mathiassen (Shapeshifter, The Three Rays).
Hard-bop, boogaloo, funk and originals are at the forefront, and these flamboyantly hardworking denizens of the Wellington scene are guaranteed to get all the hearts in the joint pumping.
9:30 PM
Ostrich 5 +

Come and witness this one-off live performance, as the Hot Ostrich combines the heated energy of Peter Elliott, Tom Callwood, Blair Latham, Ed Zuccollo and Joe Callwood into a fiery ball with Ostrich-like tendencies, playing a selection of original compositions and revolutionized lunar space jams.
Expect journeys through uncharted desert plains (unplanned musical excursions), floaty grooves to chill to by the oasis (bar), and of course, heat you'd expect from a high speed improvisational chase through the Savannah.
You'll need a drink after that. Having one before and during wouldn't hurt either, for safety's sake.
Featuring:
Ed Zuccollo - Keyz
Blair Latham - Sax
Joe Callwood - Guitar
Tom Callwood - Double Bass
Peter Elliott - Drums

The Arvo Show with Oscar Laven Organ Trio+

A hard-digging trio fronted by eclectic saxophonist Oscar Laven, featuring the organ talents of Ayrton Foote (Wellington Mingus Ensemble, C-26) and the artful drumming of Darren Mathiassen (Shapeshifter, The Three Rays).
Hard-bop, boogaloo, funk and originals are at the forefront, and these flamboyantly hardworking denizens of the Wellington scene are guaranteed to get all the hearts in the joint pumping.
9:30 PM
Ostrich 5 +

Come and witness this one-off live performance, as the Hot Ostrich combines the heated energy of Peter Elliott, Tom Callwood, Blair Latham, Ed Zuccollo and Joe Callwood into a fiery ball with Ostrich-like tendencies, playing a selection of original compositions and revolutionized lunar space jams.
Expect journeys through uncharted desert plains (unplanned musical excursions), floaty grooves to chill to by the oasis (bar), and of course, heat you'd expect from a high speed improvisational chase through the Savannah.
You'll need a drink after that. Having one before and during wouldn't hurt either, for safety's sake.
Featuring:
Ed Zuccollo - Keyz
Blair Latham - Sax
Joe Callwood - Guitar
Tom Callwood - Double Bass
Peter Elliott - Drums
