Saturday 18th October – Celebrate Our First Birthday!
If you’re planning a Blue Mountains weekend escape or simply looking for something special to do in Katoomba, clear your Saturday night. The Factory Bar – the home of Blue Mountains Gin Company – is celebrating its first birthday, and you’re invited to the party.
A Hidden Gem in Katoomba’s Industrial Heart
Tucked away on Whitton Street, The Factory Bar is where mountain-made spirits meet laid-back charm. It’s a cellar-door experience like no other – small, welcoming, and full of character. Here, locals and visitors alike gather to sip handcrafted gin, sample seasonal cocktails, and enjoy live music surrounded by the creative hum of Katoomba’s thriving arts scene.
Whether you’re road-tripping from Sydney or strolling down from the main street, you’ll find the bar buzzing every weekend with good tunes, great drinks, and even better company.
Saturday 18th October – Let’s Celebrate
We’re turning another year older, and what better way to mark the occasion than with an afternoon and evening of live music, cocktails, and celebration.
✨ Half-Price Cocktails | 4–6pm
Kick things off with our special birthday happy hour. Try one of our award-winning gins – like the Mountain Devil or Wild Dog Vodka – or explore our seasonal cocktail list, all at half price for two golden hours.
🎶 Live Music from Matt Tonks | 5.30–7.30pm
As the sun dips, settle in for a live set from Matt Tonks, a Blue Mountains favourite whose acoustic soundscapes blend originals and reimagined classics. Expect rich vocals, looping guitars, and that unmistakable mountain soul.
🎂 Birthday Cake & Good Company
No birthday’s complete without cake – and we’ll be sharing plenty. Come raise a glass (or two) with us and toast to another great year of locally crafted spirits, live music, and community.
