Sago House

In this era of million-dollar builds, three of us, veteran industry hands came together to open a venue that focuses on hospitality and community. Following our motto “Don’t Try” (C. Bukowski), we chose reusability, up-cycling, and good old-fashioned hustle to build an eclectic space hidden away on the top level of a Sago Street shophouse. The program features a weekly rotating menu of cocktails created from produce found in the locality along with some simple tasty bites. We also host regular hospitality workers' education sessions, creating a safe space for the industry to discuss issues that affect them, as well as sharing the process of building a venue independently. The project took almost a year of work. Burning weekends and evenings, to create a space that is big on heart and creativity. Welcome home.
