Pub
Michael Jordan was the greatest of all time. No doubt. But to say we’re going to be the Michael Jordan of pubs? Tough ask.
How about the Larry Bird of pubs? Remember Bird? White guy, no hops, limited athleticism; but three rings, 12 x an all star, 3 x NBA MVP and a member of Dream Team I on the back of good solid fundamentals. And that’s our commitment to you. Simple things done really well. Larry Bird style. Or as the great man put it “first master the fundamentals”.
The fundamentals of a good pub experience – crisp cold beer, served off a meticulously maintained system into a clean glass; a wine range that’s interesting and not intimidating; food that’s hot, looks good and tastes great; a team who works fast and smile at the same time, welcoming you to the venue like they would their home.
That’s our commitment. Hold us to it. If we don’t provide you a Larry Bird experience, let us know. Cheers, Alfie x

    The $20 Parma special was excellent value for money on a Thursday evening. I enjoyed my beef ragu with gnocchi and particularly appreciated the sustainable packaging to take left overs home.

    Really enjoyed the steak. The calamari entree also worked in well. The Shiraz complimented the steak well, but definitely needed more air time. Overall the setting worked well, but we did feel like we were sitting in the middle of everyone as opposed to a more ambient location. Admittedly the booking was done late in the day, so the fact our table was ready even in advance was a bonus

    Service was great lovely young people service with a smile food a little bit all over the place? Coconut Margarita was fabulous! But unfortunately the Crab Crocketts was abit of a tasteless gluie mess with no crab or prawn meat too be seen or too be tasted as promised in the description? Then the Steak was perfectly cooked and delicious the snapper another all over the place dish it definitely had crab on it but not the crab moose that was promised, but the fish was cooked prefect the summer salsa was just salsa nothing special. So all in all an interesting experience not a completely disappointing one? Would I go again? For the cocktails definitely.
