Pub Truths: Whiskey, Wine & WTF

Real talk. Real drinks. Real business.

Forget the networking clichés. Pub Truths is a 6-weekly Wednesday night meet-up for SA business owners who are ready to cut the crap and talk about what’s actually going on — in business, in life, and in the trenches.

It’s a room full of people who get it. Who’ve ridden the highs, hit the lows, and know that behind every “crushing it” post is a whole lot more going on.

There’s no speaker. No pitch. No pressure. Just a chance to share a drink, a story, and a few “you too?” moments with other humans who happen to run businesses.

• A fresh group of business owners at each event
• 1 real topic — suggested by the people in the room
• Unfiltered, respectful, insightful discussion
• A reminder that you’re not alone in this

🗓 Every 6 weeks on a Wednesday
⏰ 5:30pm – 7:30pm
📍 The Duke of Brunswick Hotel, Adelaide
🥃 Your first drink is on us — after that, it’s pub prices and proper conversations.

When you book your ticket, you’ll be able to suggest a theme or question for the night. The only rule? Keep it real.

Whether it’s a staffing drama, a win that doesn’t feel like one, or just wondering if anyone else is as tired as you — bring it.

Simone doesn’t do small talk for the sake of it. She curates these sessions to be honest, energising, and refreshingly real , because the best ideas (and the biggest relief) often start with “You won’t believe what happened this week…”
