Battlesticks Hospitality Superstar Returns
Battlesticks, a slice of heaven on the harbour, is welcoming back a hospitality superstar: Bar Manager Cooper Tegg. Passionate about crafting good times for her patrons, Cooper says Battlesticks promises to deliver the best value and views in town.
Born with hospitality in her blood, her mother being one of the original Scratchleys crew and her father involved in the Newcastle live music scene, she is no stranger to the industry. She also worked as Restaurant Manager at Scratchleys, where she learned from the best.
“I realised early on that interaction with people was what I was good at,” says Cooper.
“When I started working in the restaurant, I just fell in love with it. I’ve worked in other venues, but managing Battlesticks was an offer too good to refuse. The space is stunning, and I truly believe we have one of the best venues in Newcastle.”
With a 'come for the view, stay for the crew' ideology, Cooper and the team at Battlesticks are dedicated to showing you a good time. Offering live music with local solo artists all weekend, a myriad of cocktails to choose from (prices start at just $17), an extensive wine and spirits list, plenty of wine-by-the glass options (beginning from just $9), tasty tapas and working harbour views, it doesn’t get any better than that!
“THE PRICING IS NO MORE THAN ONE WOULD PAY AT A PUB, AND THE QUALITY IS EXCEPTIONAL.”
Cooper believes in offering value for money, something that many patrons are surprised by when they venture into the sumptuous cream and gold interior with its cathedral ceilings and 180-degree views of the sky and harbour. Open from midday Friday, Saturday and Sunday, bookings and walk-ins are welcome.
“We’ve got a never say no attitude here,” said Cooper.
“We welcome private functions, and we’re happy for guests in large groups to pay as they go individually, which can make a big difference for organisers. We just want everyone to relax, have fun, have a dance and enjoy our hospitality.”
