FRONT BAR SESSIONS: AMAYA LAUCIRICA

FRONT BAR SESSIONS – FREE LIVE MUSIC

Ah, Sundays at the Corner — where the beer’s cold, the music’s hot and the vibe’s just right. We’re bringing back the magic of lazy arvos and filling them with a bunch of pared-back Front Bar Sessions. Think free live music, good company and that unbeatable Corner Front Bar energy.

It’s the kind of place where you can pull up a stool, order a pint and lose track of time while local legends and up-and-comers play you a Sunday soundtrack.

Our Front Bar Sessions won’t stick around forever, so make the most of ‘em while they’re here. Round up the crew, grab a spot by the bar and let’s finish the weekend the right way.
