About The Budgie Bar

Industrial warehouse vibe meets classic collector cars in Ringwood, where cocktails pair with street-style Mexican fare. Visitors drop by for Thursday trivia sessions, casual after-work rounds, or lively group functions spread across indoor lounges and outdoor tables. The kitchen bypasses standard pub steaks for Mexican arancini, prawn tacos, and burrito de pollo smothered in chimichurri.

  • Classic Cars on Display: Vintage collector cars and motorbikes are parked right across the spacious warehouse floor.
  • Mexican Street Eats: Serves Mexican arancini, burritos, and tacos alongside weekend bottomless sessions and cocktails.
  • Spacious Event Hub: Accommodates private functions, corporate events, and milestone parties with dedicated bar areas.
