The Gem has been a pioneer in American style BBQ and Southern fare since 2012, garnering a reputation as an unpretentious and customer focused venue.Remaining true to the classic pub staples, we upped the Southern-style ante early on by importing a custom made klose pit from Houston, Texas, way before BBQ became a 'thing!'
With the recent addition of chef Tanya Bertino from the accomplished Station Hotel in Footscray, The Gem is now taking it to the next level.

Be sure to check out the BBQ tasting plate as well as all the other delights available on our fantastic menu.With a cosy front bar, downstairs dining room and our new upstairs bar and dining, The Gem is also perfect for that special get together with friends and family.

So, if you are searching for an old school pub that’s stayed true to its roots and maintained its personality offering an array of eclectic live music, a touch of Elvis with a dash of country/rockabilly and damn fine barbecue, then The Gem is exactly that, with all the right fixings!
