The croquettes were a highlight, followed by the green beans and the involtini. I’ll be back for more soon.

It's a bit on the pricey side, but this bar is very welcoming and with a talented bartender that can make almost any cocktail! If you've ordered it elsewhere, they've got the stuff to create your favourites!<br/ <br/ My fussy self thinks the booth chairs sink a little too much, but there's plenty of other options for seating, such as a charming courtyard out the back and bar seating. If you're in the area, definitely take a stop here before venturing any further!

The atmosphere was great and the service was friendly but I felt the food was over priced . There aren't many (if any) other options for drinks in this area so it's a good thing the swallow is open in Maylands!

Anyway, noting that as well as your typical suburban pub on one side of the tracks, there was this place on the other. Actually, it is more of a wine/cocktail bar than a beer bar, though they do have some decent beers on tap. The interior décor is also really nice, particularly the old train seats that they have in the front room. We even found a nice fireside lounge out the back. Certainly worth checking out.
