Next Door Kitchen and Bar opens at South Bank

Last night was the official launch of new place in town, Next Door Kitchen and Bar. Built with the aim of having a 1920's speakeasy feel, Next Door is going to be a unique new addition to the South Bank family. Harun Gencerler known for Ahmet's and Olé (both in South Bank) is the brains behind this new establishment.

“Our goal is to create a cocktail bar with an emphasis on shared dining.” He said.

Things you can expect on the menus include oysters with gin and cracked pepper, Gangster chicken wings, flash fried shrimp to start; and whiskey beef cheeks, pulled duck leg and slow-cooked lamb neck to share.

Venue manager David Yates said the cocktail list had been designed to tell the story about the advancement of the modern cocktail.

“The cocktail menu has been divided into three prohibition-inspired categories,” Mr Yates said. "Moonshine and Marketplace, Bootleggers and Baptists and Housemade Hooch (shared cocktails)."

The decor has the 1920s classic style including smooth timber, vintage decor and mirror detailing.

To make the most of your New Year Eve you should book in for a night of burlesque, dinner and undoubtedly prohibition-era debauchery.
