What's On

Lockdown life has resumed and as you know, this means the temporary closure of all Joylab establishments (including takeaway and delivery services).

Locations of Interest

You may have heard that some of our Joylab establishments have been named locations of interest. We encourage you to check the Ministry of Health website, and if you visited us during any of the listed time periods, please call Healthline on 0800 358 5453 and follow their advice on what to do.

Joylab Rewards

If you didn't already know, any Joylab Rewards balance you may have had expiring while we're in lockdown has been automatically extended. This means that any balance that was due to expire between 17th - 24th August, and for the two weeks following (until 7th September), will now have a new expiry date of 30th November, giving you an extra 3 months to use these Rewards Dollars.

Bookings & Events

We'll be in touch as soon as possible with any of you that had bookings or events due to take place while our doors are closed, and appreciate your patience while we work through this.

We feel extremely grateful to each and every one of you for the support which has been shown to us through every lockdown so far, and we can’t wait to enjoy a cold beer with you soon.

Please continue to check this page for updates over the coming weeks as we too learn more.

Stay safe and look out for one another.

Cheers,
Joylab
