After almost 9 years of late nights, questionable trivia answers, acoustic Fridays, cocktails, dinners and more than a few stories we probably shouldn’t repeat… our regular night trade is coming to an end.
We’d bloody love to see Watkins full for one last weekend. Come have dinner, pull up a stool, order your usual and raise a glass with us.
But don’t panic — Watkins isn’t going anywhere. We’re just changing things up.
The café will keep doing its thing, while Watkins after dark becomes all about functions, parties and events.
Same Watkins. New tricks.
Book online and come send off this chapter with us.
