Thank God for that... As we approach the end of our tenure at The World and Yonder, we find ourselves filled with immense gratitude and pride. For years, we’ve strived to be more than just a spot for great food, drinks, and music; we’ve endeavoured to be a vibrant part of the Queenstown community and create some mischief along the way. Countless memories, some misty, some permanently etched, of a perpetual celebration together with all of you, in a space where we hope locals and visitors alike felt at home. It’s all we wanted. We’d like to throw a massive thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years. Your loyalty, laughter, and banter have been the heartbeat of our journey. We are incredibly grateful to our amazing teams, having had the privilege of hiring close to 1500 unique individuals over the years. It’s heartwarming to know that some of them met their partners within our walls, and maybe a few World and Yonder babies have been hatched here too..? We also want to acknowledge that while there may be some frustrations around Queenstown life, the CBD remains an awesome place, full of great people doing their very best, so please continue to support this magical place and please give these guys your support if you can.

Lastly, a huge shout-out to the talented musicians and DJs who have graced our stages. This journey wouldn’t have been the same without each and every one of you.
