FoMo Cinemas: Food + Movies
FoMo Cinemas, a new food-focused cinema concept by the Cinema Nova team, is now open at EBV!

FoMo Cinemas is now open – book your tickets here!

Private dining, a function space and Rocket Society bar are all additions at their new EBV venue.

All-day crowd pleasers with an ever changing menu. The music is on point, the vibe is on point and is open daily from 11am till late.

Blackhearts & Sparrows
Blackhearts & Sparrows was founded by siblings, Jessica & Paul Ghaie, off the back of a pretty simple premise. They wanted to share their passion for interesting wines, with the hope that people would get as much joy from these bottles as they do. They wanted to prove that good wine doesn’t have to be pretentious, intimidating, or expensive-and, if you know where to look, you could find the right bottle for just about anyone. We couldn’t agree more and welcome Blackhearts & Sparrow to EBV’s bustling retail precinct soon.
