Bench

★ 3.5 / 5 (16 reviews)

The restaurant on King Street has a nice venue but is held back by high prices and less than welcoming staff. However, the drinks are delicious at the modern and elegant bar. While the service may lack at times, the ambiance and wine selection at Bench offer a wonderful experience for patrons. The staff at Bench are attentive and friendly, making it a must-visit spot in Newtown compared to other nearby options. Overall, despite some minor issues with service, Bench is a great find for those looking for a cozy and enjoyable dining experience.

What Albert Herzog dislikes about Bench:

I've been here a few times and its cool as a local meeting spot, but I have mixed feelings about the place. I hear the wine list is good, not that I am

Many of the bars in newton have the look and feel of the opposite embraced, with long narrow spaces filled with art and decorated in a way that feels like newtown. wein the bar has gone to the other wise and has taken a heavy modern hand.
