The much-anticipated venue from the boys that introduced us Jakoby’s Tiki Bar, The Trocadero Room and Earl’s Juke Joint has opened The Magpie, their nod to traditional Australian sports activities pubs.
The inspiration behind the venue is former Rugby League nice Tommy Raudonikaus, the quintessential Aussie larrikin whose persona resonates by means of the room.
“It’s a tiny sports activities bar celebrating all issues Australiana with all of the quirks.” Pasan Wijesena, Proprietor
The pub options all the stuff you’d anticipate from a traditional pub, together with televisions enjoying a wide range of sports activities, with one devoted to traditional 90’s motion movies highlighting the golden age of Civic Video.
They’re pouring Guinness and an unique Outdated Ale in collaboration with the Grifter Brewing Firm. The cocktail menu factors in the direction of the whisky class and a frozen Irish espresso to spherical it out. You may as well anticipate some glowing crimson wine like lambrusco on the menu.
Common supervisor Russell Martin (Beforehand Jakoby’s, Tios) is on the helm and he’s recruited a number of proficient bartenders like Geoff Spruce (previously Tios and The Excelsior).
It’s embracing nostalgic Australiana in a enjoyable manner, from the RSL-inspired carpet to the tiling alongside the partitions. It’s intimate and comfy, with loads of area to seize a beer and pop good previous Aussie lean.
