Handlebar Sessions

TECHNO WESTERNS

"It's just so good to be back in front of people, especially where I think everyone has just been stuck inside so long, especially young people... they've missed really vital parts of their life and now they're just trying to get out and have fun."

ANGELINA MACKINNON

"The world's dark enough, why not put a little bit of light in it? Now even more than ever I know my place in the world, and that is to bring y'all some good tunes."

PSIBLINGZ

"We have a responsibility to inspire and try to do better for all of us because we're all humans and the same."

RAHAEL

"People are dying to go to concerts, to feel that intensity in their veins with people they don't know... it makes people feel united and alive."

MADDEE

"Prioritizing queer voices, black voices, any marginalized voices, prioritizing those voices at shows and on bills... there's just an immense amount of talent and it takes very little effort to look for it."

QUARTERBACK

"I think that when people aren't political that they're doing a disservice to their fans, to their community, and to everyone. I think it's annoying."

VESTIGIO

"I think during the pandemic it really laid bare to the world in general the real injustice in the way that we've structured our societies. It just doesn't make sense."

ANKH EL BONGZ

"Music has an extremely profound effect on our culture.“

ZEESHAN LALANI

"Music keeps us going. Wherever we are, how sad, how good we are, we have a friend we can always fall back on to."

QUEZAL

“We're on the forefront of actual change, let's do something cute, let's do some nice shows, let's do some inclusive shit."

Wilda Dry Hopped Honey Brew

$9

Poor gluten-free people. Whenever they go into a bar, their options are cider or kinda rubbish beer. Not at Handlebar, baby! "Feels Like Friday" mead has been added to the fridge. It’s basically honey, water and yeast, and is a gluten-free alternative to beer. $7. 355ml can.

Oast House “Pap’s Pilsner”

Citrus notes imparting a wonderful tropical flavour perfectly balanced with sweet malt undertones and hop bitterness, “Bronan” has proved to be the turning point for many a night. Tonight, that could be you! 7.1%. 473ml.

Guinness

$9

Look, no shade, we all have blind spots in life. For example, one of our staff has never seen “The Sound of Music." It’s the person writing this caption. How widely seen is that movie nowadays anyway? Stop giving me grief for never spending three hours with the Von Trapp Family!

My point is that people probably expect you to know what a Guinness is. It’s OK if you don’t. Guinness is a stout. Have a great day.

4.2%. 500ml.
