If you’re in the Illawarra and you haven’t been to this bar yet… mate, what are you even doing with your life? This place is in a league of its own. The cocktails are the best in the region, bold in flavour, perfectly balanced, and crafted with the kind of confidence that only comes from people who genuinely know their craft. And the burgers? Absolute show-stoppers. Juicy, packed with flavour, and honestly better than anything you’ll find up or down the coast. What really makes this spot unbeatable is the crew. Every single member of the team is exceptional…warm, switched-on, passionate, and genuinely brilliant at what they do. They’ve created a venue with so much personality that you feel it the second you walk through the door. It’s inviting, interesting, full of character, and effortlessly cool. The music hits, the vibes are unreal, the food is elite, and the staff? Gorgeous, inside and out. Life’s short. Don’t waste it missing out on the best bar the Illawarra has to offer. Go experience it for yourself.

Hectic burgers (get a bacon cheesey & whack a bit of chicken on it, im tellin ya). Staff are dialled in & the energy is great.

Been here a couple times now and had food delivered. The service in person was real friendly and personable and the delivered food was fresh, delicious and super tasty. Well done and thank you

Awesome addition to Wollongong. Great selection of spirits (especially the plantation rum). Didn’t try the food but the burgers looked good. My kind of digs - about as good as a dive can get in Wollongong, will definitely be back.

I love papis so much. One of the best grungiest places to go to for a drink and bangin burger. Proper dive bar aesthetics, sick staff, yummy cocktails and I refuse to have burgers anywhere other than papis. I luv
