Our history
Our story began in East London, where the Esqulant family first made their mark at the iconic Golden Heart—an East End pub renowned for its character, community, and sense of place. After relocating to Perth, the family launched Hillarys Beach Club in 2023, bringing that same spirit to the coast. This flagship venue quickly became a vibrant destination where locals and visitors come together over great food, live music, and shared experiences. As our group has grown, so has our family’s involvement, with many member playing a part in shaping what ELG Australia’s stands for today: genuine hospitality, strong community roots, and experiences worth remembering.
