WHAT’S ON

There’s usually something happening at The North Star in Ballarat.

Sometimes we’re the plan. Sometimes we’re where you meet before the plan.

At The North Star, there’s always a reason to meet up, stay a bit longer, or turn an ordinary night into something a little more social.

Weekly pub specials that make feeding everyone a little easier. Fridays that don’t need much convincing. Live music. Sunday afternoons that have a habit of disappearing.

And sometimes, we’re just the start of the night.

With Her Majesty’s Theatre, The Mining Exchange, Civic Hall and The Goods Shed all nearby, we’re rather conveniently placed for dinner and a drink before the show.

And… equally good for dissecting the performance afterwards, like suddenly everyone’s a professional critic.

FRONT BAR SESSIONS

Friday nights, from 6pm

Public Bar

Live music, a drink in hand, and no real rush to be anywhere else.

It’s not as common as it used to be – which is exactly why it matters.

SUNDAY SESSIONS

Sundays, 2pm-5pm

Just popping in for one? On a Sunday? Good luck with that.

Live music. 2-for-1 pizzas. Cocktails by the Clock.

Yep, Sunday afternoons have a habit of disappearing around here.

Whether it’s a midweek dinner, a Friday catch-up, or just an easy way out of cooking, there’s usually something happening.

You could make a plan.

Or you could just drop in and see what’s going on.
