Good feed, frosty beers, friendly faces and non-stop buffoonery... That's Uncle Ay-Jay's
We need your help to make the most of the time we have left before opening doors in 2027
For the past four years, we've been slinging tacos, feeding the locals, and getting up to all sorts of nonsense with our little food truck, Uncle Ay-Jay's. Somewhere along the way, we accidentally built something bigger than a taco truck. We've built a community of absolute legends who've come along for the ride, and now we've got an opportunity to take things to the next level.
We've found an absolutely banging two-story bar and restaurant and we want to turn it into the next chapter of Uncle Ay-Jay's. Expect big flavours, new dishes, a few familiar favourites, drinks flowing, and the kind of atmosphere you've come to know from the Ay-Jay's crew. The new venue gives us room to experiment beyond the taco truck, get a bit more creative in the kitchen, and build somewhere people can come together over good food, good drinks, and questionable life decisions. But there's a bit of work to do before we can throw open the doors. The venue needs some serious love, from the fit-out and decoration to getting the space ready for the sort of operation we've got planned. That's where this campaign comes in.
We're inviting the Uncle Ay-Jay's community to become part of the next stage. Contributions will go towards transforming the space, getting the venue ready, and bringing this slightly unhinged vision to life. And, because experiments should have their perks, we've got rewards in the works, including Uncle Ay-Jay's merch, memberships, special discounts, and invitations to get in early and experience the new venue before the general public. Whether you've been following us since our very first taco, or you're only just discovering the madness, there's room for you in this next chapter.
Join Uncle Ay-Jays and see what we can all do together.
Rewards
Every bit helps no matter how big or little.
We understand not everyone can afford this shit right
now.
Our doors will always be open to anyone who needs a place
to relax and feel loved.
If you have lots to give you're
incredible. If you have nothing to give you are equally as
incredible.
Don't you EVER forget that.
You are a Bloody Good Egg!
This contribution will land you a couple of goodies including an annual membership and exclusive access to the soft launch before the general public. Good Eggs also score a founding members stubby holder and a few Uncle Ay-Jay's stickers to crown the back of the next-door neighbour's pet tortoise.
Our Oldest Mate
You'll be one of the homies forever. To show our love to you we've
got a sweet corduroy hat which Jabbs has been designing. Wear it to
the back, wear it to the side, what ever you do wear it with pride.
Your contribution goes a long way to making a place for us all to let
our freak flag fly.
You'll also get an invite to the exclusive
soft launch and a year long membership which will give you cheap
bevvies at the bar. Cheers Old Mate!
Look out! A Weapon of Mass Construction.
You are much more than just a fan of Uncle Ay-Jay's. It's these kind of contributions that we need to renovate the kitchen, build the furniture and fix the awful smell coming from the staff. You will be an honorary member of the team and allow for the building of this beautiful space to become something truly incredible. Not only that but we also have a bunch of awesome merch too. Including an awesome limited edition founders t-shirt designed by Jabbs as well a limited run tote bag to carry round your abundant awesomeness. This package will also get you annual membership for the year and an exclusive invite to our new abode for the soft launch. Why not have a handful of stickers too!
Big Dog has Entered the Room!
You're not just getting in early. You're helping lay the foundations for Uncle Ay-Jay's new fort. You'll get a bespoke dinner for two, perfect for a hot date with that overseas prince who keeps emailing you for your credit card info. Plus you'll score both of our exclusive founding member T-shirts, a custom tote, and some stickers to spread the word. You'll also get an annual membership and an invite to our soft launch, so you're there when we cut the ribbon. Honestly, you're helping build something from the toe nails up, and we KNOW that's worth a lot more than a T-shirt and a dinner. So thank you, honestly. You're helping create a place we hope you'll want to come back to for years to come. You're a certified legend. We'll make sure you feel like one.
Praise Thee Saint of Rat-folk!
This one's for the George's of the jungle! The kind of folk who want to see it shine from day dot. You're not just getting a stack of gear, you're helping Uncle Ay-Jay's blossom from a street meat merchant into a deluxe casa of fine grub, crispy bevys and a community of absolute rat bags. As a patron saint, you'll receive a bespoke dinner for you and three buds, plus the full collection of our founding member merch. Two exclusive t-shirts featuring custom designs by Jabbs, an embroidered Uncle Ay-Jay's corduroy hat, a custom-designed tote bag, and a handful of stickers. You'll also get a year of membership with 10% off at the bar, along with an invitation to our soft launch, so you can be there when the doors swing open to this whole ridiculous nuthouse. Honestly, the support at this level goes well beyond the value of the goodies. It means you believe in what we're doing, and we genuinely can't thank you enough for that. You're helping build something that we hope becomes a little home away from home for a lot of people and a place to keep Sydney's flame of scoundrel-ism burning bright. From the bottom of our rat infested hearts, thank you for being part of it. PRAISE BE YOUR NAME.
Make sure you go down in the eons of Uncle Ay-Jay's drunkery.
You'll get to choose the name of one of our delicious bespoke cocktails. It'll be on our drinks menu and all who want it will call it by your choosing. Suggestions include: Your favourite child, your missing goldfish's name or all your mother-in-law's credit card information.
