Last drinks for Footscray’s Reverence Hotel
The Reverence Hotel in Footscray has called last orders after almost six and half years.
The pub announced on their Facebook page that it will be holding its last day of trading on March 2, 2019.
The team said they haven’t managed to secure another lease on the pub for the future, as they’ve been operating on a month-to-month basis for the last little while.
“Without a lease of any certainty for a home, we are unable to plan long-term and have had to stop investing back into the venue,” they said in a statement.
“Looking back we are really proud of our achievements, the community that has congregated and the memories that have been made are immense. What we’ve created here has far surpassed our expectations!”
The Reverence Hotel has been an award winner, scooping Time Out’s Best Live Music Pub in 2015.
