Italian 5 at 5

Overview

The working day is done. You're hankering for a tipple and a snack, but you're not yet ready for dinner. It's the familiar feeling that rolls around come quittin' time — well, that and the joy of being done with another day — and it's a dilemma that Victoria Park's bistro has a new solution to.

Every Wednesday to Friday from 5pm to 6.30pm, it's serving up $5 beverages with $5 wood-fired garlic breads. You have to get one of both, so it'll cost you a minimum of $10. And, it's limited to two drinks per bread, to keep with responsible alcohol service rules. But, as far as a cheap post 9-5 grind bev and bite goes, it's a mighty fine and affordable option.

Drinks on offer include sparkling rose, Taltarni sauvignon blanc, Stella Artois (and Stella Artois Legere), Bulmer's Apple Cider and basic spirits. The deal is on offer from April through until the end of July — aka, a perfect way to warm up the belly after work as the weather starts to get cooler.
