About this event
Forget everything you know about a standard night at the pub. This May, the Moonee Ponds Food & Wine Walk is going off-piste for a specialised “Internal Journey” through the iconic Holmes Hall.
We aren’t just sitting down for dinner—we are taking over the Hall. Your $89 ticket grants you “access-all-areas” as we transition through three curated sessions, each with its own entertainment, menu, and atmosphere. From the acoustic-lit Front Bar to the high-octane energy of the Sunroom floor, this is a progressive dining experience designed to showcase the different souls of the building.
