Housed in the refurbished 1943 Blue Horizon Tearooms, this intimate community gathering spot on Stafford Drive blends live performance, film, and dining by the coast. Originally run as a tearoom, gallery, and performance venue hosting live music gigs and movie nights, the heritage building is entering a fresh chapter under Raf and Ale, formerly of Nelson's Babagatto restaurant. They are introducing authentic Italian food while keeping the space alive with special events and live entertainment, retaining the creative pulse that built its strong local following.
We hear the venue has undergone refurbishments with plans to reopen as an Italian-inspired eatery and performance space, while its historic theatre seats have moved on to a new home at the Riverside Community. Set along Stafford Drive in Ruby Bay, it remains an imaginative coastal reinvention where neighbourhood heritage meets stage and table.
