A short story about the week ahead at Chapel…
Monday.
The week begins peacefully. A few locals at the bar, lunch on the table 🍔, the first cold beers 🍺 poured. Calm before the chaos.
Tuesday – St Paddy’s Day 🍀
Suddenly everyone’s Irish. Someone orders a Whiskey 🥃, someone else insists on an Irish Coffee ☕️, and before long the room is full of very confident singing and suspiciously green outfits 🇮🇪.
Wednesday & Thursday
Back to civilisation. Good food 🍤, good company, and the kind of midweek catch-ups that turn into “how has it been three hours?”
Friday
The weekend kicks off properly. DJ Rowie on the decks 🎧, drinks flowing 🍸🍺 and Ponsonby doing what Ponsonby does.
Saturday
DJ Beatmaster takes over 🎶, the energy lifts again, and the dancefloor 💃🕺 earns its keep.
Then Sunday arrives… and the stories begin.
Open every day from 12pm till late.
Cold beers🍺
A gastro menu that keeps everyone happy🍽️
DJs Friday & Saturday🎧
See you at Chapel. Amen. 🍀🍻

Friday the 13th and Warren's got emotional.
Not because of bad luck…
Not because he spilt his beer…
But because his pint is still completely full and he hasn’t had a sip yet.
Tragic scenes.
Send prayers. Or mates. Preferably mates. 🍺🙏

Sunday service is underway… and someone skipped the glassware. 🍾
When the sun hits Ponsonby just right, a few of the congregation forget their manners and go straight from the bottle.
No judgement here. We’ve all sinned. Quick poll for the Chapel faithful:

Water into wine? Nah.
We prefer whiskey into worship. 🥃
Freshly poured, perfectly sinful, and best shared with your favourite disciples.
Confess your week. We’ll handle the redemption.

🌈✨ WELL… THAT was a weekend ✨🌈
Ponsonby showed up.
The Parade delivered.
And Chapel? Absolutely overflowing with colour, chaos and pure joy.
Glitter is still being discovered in places we can’t legally discuss.
Voices are slightly gone.
Hearts are very full.
To everyone who marched, danced, cheered, hugged strangers and made this weekend what it was — thank you. You turned the street into a celebration and we were blessed to be right in the middle of it.
Same love. Same energy.
Just maybe a little less glitter in the bar mats today. 😇🏳️🌈

Ponsonby, you ready to confess your love loud and proud? 🌈✨
The Rainbow Parade kicks off at 7.30pm tonight and if you’re looking for the holiest viewing spot on the strip… you’ve just found it.
Front row seats. Cold drinks. Hot food. Zero judgement. Maximum vibes.
Park yourself at our place, bless the parade as it struts past, and let the glitter rain down while you soak up the colour, the chaos and the absolute joy of it all.
No sermon. Just celebration.
No rules. Just love.
See you under the green umbrellas. 🌈💛

Choose your disciple:
🍺 The Loyal One
🍸 The Temptation
🍷 The Sophisticated Sinner
🍹 The Life of the Last Supper
Which one are you?

This is Chapel 💛
Good tunes, good people, and that warm, fuzzy feeling you didn’t know you needed. Big love to our resident legend Rowie on the decks, turning moments like this into memories.
Come for the music. Stay for the hugs. Amen. ✨
