Walk to the gates
Straight up Collins Street, no trams and no parking stress. Leave when the queue at gate 8 looks friendly.
Time it right
Doors open around 5:30pm and main acts rarely start before 8. Book for 5:30 or 6 and take your time over dinner.
Kitchen hours
We are one for the pre-show crowd. If the encore runs late, come back for lunch the next day.
Quick picks from the menu
If you are watching the clock, phở is the move. The broth has already done its 24 hours, so it lands on your table in minutes. Bún chả and the rice paper rolls are just as quick off the pass.
Cocktails at the bar if you are early, Vietnamese coffee if it is a school night. Either way you walk to your seat fed, not queueing for stadium chips.
