The World Bar X Yonder Collab

COVID-19 tried to put a real damper on our party, but there was no way we were going to let that blue little virus get the best of us. So we took it as an opportunity to take two cool places and put them into one really cool location. We decided to call this fun experiment The World Bar X Yonder Collaboration…because well, that’s what it is!

The goal was to combine The World Bar and Yonder to become the best of both world under one roof.

Gary Livesey – Owner/Manager

You can expect to see elements of the iconic World Bar, but in a new and interesting environment. The moose hasn’t gone anywhere and he’s still there to meet you when you walk into Yonder.

Despite everything that is going on, we’re still trying to make these “The good old days.” Especially since we spend so much damn time inside, we take every day as a day to celebrate with good friends over beer, food and good times.

Of course there are cocktails in a teapot. We also have the burgers, nachos and tacos that you know and love. So from coffee and brunch until the rowdy late night, we’ve got you covered!

Expect to see World Bar back before you know it.

WORLDSTOCK 2020 – March 21 & 22nd

“Ass, grass or gas- Nobody rides for free,” the 1970’s hitchhiking bumper sticker has a lot in common with Worldstock. You will probably see all three over the weekend. For it’s 9th year, Worldstock 2020 is going to be bigger than ever with 290sqm of real turf grass laid at both Yonder & The World Bar!

Worldstock 2020 is a weekend of retro costumes, local music and a celebration of Queenstown’s community. A strict no costume = no entry policy means you better have your best 1969 attire on!

2020 is the first year the festival will be held across two venues for two full days. Other new additions for 2020 include a Queenstown community music showcase. The showcase will feature local musicians playing on the Yonder stage. Any local musicians that are interested in participating are encouraged to contact cuillin@yonderqt.co.nz.

Aotearoa Surf Film Festival -Queenstown Winter Edition

New Zealand surf film festival

We are proud to host The Aotearoa Surf Film Festival winter edition, featuring some of the best cold water surfing from New Zealand and around the world. The last time we hosted the summer Aotearoa Surf Film festival, we sold out quickly. This series is the only surf film festival in Queenstown!

Beyond The Noise (Australia)

Distracted by realities of our own invention, the natural world becomes invisible, technology is our king. As the cracks in our society spread, two surfers seek refuge in the vastness of the ocean, away from the deafening clamour of humankind. Unchained and dangerously close to freedom.

Director/Producer: Andrew Kaineder
