A true Collingwood local, the Gem has remained true to its Americana aesthetic since opening for business in 2006.
With its wooden honkytonk interior, ranch-style furniture, and shrines to the memory of the late Elvis Presley, it captures the warmth and friendly feel of a Southern American bar.
​
We look forward to making your night a memorable one! With 4 dining rooms and an upstairs bar, we can cater for a cheeky bar-top snack or dining bookings of up to 30 people.
