Overview
For those of you who like your cuisine on the retro side, you'll be happy to hear that South Bank has a new dining option that promises to take you on a nostalgic journey back to the diner culture of 1950s USA.
Opening on October 23, South Side Diner serves up all the American standards you’d expect from a good old fashioned diner (think milkshakes, burgers, hot dogs, Budweiser, onion rings, apple pie, ice cream sundaes, root beer floats) plus a few modern, slightly healthier twists thrown in there too (think labna, think kale).
Owner Harun Gencerler, who you may know as the man behind Little Stanley Street's Next Door Kitchen Bar, says “We’re creating a space that captures the classic American diner image — think tall frosty milkshakes, swivelling bar stools, cosy booths and a pumping jukebox.”
The best news? It's open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, so you can start your day with a stack of pancakes and end it with a round of sherbet watermelon margaritas.
South Side Diner is open Monday – Sunday, 7.30am - late, at 162 Grey Street, South Bank.
