Eltham Town

✨ WHAT A NIGHT! ✨
Eltham Town Square was absolutely buzzing last night for Eltham After Dark: Art Illuminated! ❄️A massive thank you to everyone who rugged up, braved the winter drizzle, and filled our beautiful township with so much incredible community energy.

Apart from the rain, the turnout was fantastic! From the spectacular glowing neon art and live tunes at the Rotunda to the fire twirlers, stilt walkers, and bustling local food stalls, it was a magical night to remember. 🎨🎶

END OF AN ERA & A BIG ELTHAM WELCOME AT

We are incredibly sad to see Jason and Anthony go. Over the past 5 years, they have poured their hearts into creating an absolutely amazing establishment right here in the heart of our town. From a vibrant wine bar and restaurant to a fantastic family-friendly local hub, they truly built something special.

We want to wish both Jason and Anthony the absolute best in all of their new endeavours! ✨

As they pass the torch onto the next chapter, let’s give a massive, warm Eltham community welcome to the new owners, ! 🤝 We are so excited to see them take the reins of Missing Gorilla and can't wait to see what they bring to the venue. Let’s make sure we show them our famous local spirit and support them as they step into the neighbourhood!

👋 A Farewell Message from Jason & Anthony:
*"The last 5 years have been nothing short of amazing! We can’t thank the Eltham and broader community enough for the support they’ve shown over the years.
That being said, it’s onto the next chapter. Thank you to all our incredible artists who have put this venue on the map! Some of Australia’s biggest bands and names have played or entertained in our venue, and that is so, so special! 🎤🎸
Thank you to the hundreds of regular patrons (you know who you are 😉) that always drop in and say hi, you truly make every day even more enjoyable. You’ll still see the familiar faces around, so drop in and say G'day. Be sure to join us this Sunday for some live music and a proper farewell!"*
