    Great location, perfect for a bite pre-show. Home made comfort food, great staff and artsy ambience. Grindstone Bistro is one of my favourites!

    It is not a restaurant to sit for a big meal but it is a nice, little place with a nice selection of craft beers and interesting cocktails. The food is just easy small bites you can consume quickly before your show.

    The Grindstone balances being a character pub with being a comedy theatre masterfully. Their menu consists of comfort food elevated, fantastic drinks, and the converted mechanic shop space adds character to the backdrop of whatever’s going on there, whether that be a comedy open mic, a karaoke night, or drinks and dinner before an award winning fringe show performed in their theatre.
