Overview
For decades, Park Road has been Milton's go-to bar and restaurant hub; however the popular strip is getting some stiff competition. A few blocks closer to the city, Cribb Street Social is taking up residence on the roadway that inspired its name — and serving up everything from craft beverages to leafy hangout spaces along with it.
Set to open in mid-September, Cribb Street Social is the latest venture from the folks behind Mr Edward's Alehouse, which should give an indication of the type of vibe on offer. If their CBD space is the kind of city spot you could while away an afternoon in, then their venture further afield not only aims to replicate the same atmosphere in the city's inner-west, but to do so with a huge al fresco garden, a drinks menu that spans cold brews, cocktails and coffees, and charcuterie leading the food charge.
Beverage-wise, the bar and restaurant will feature ten craft beers and four artisan cocktails on tap, plus a hefty list of wines, a focus on whisky and gin, and more spirit-filled concoctions. If caffeine is more your thing — and with the eatery trading across weekday breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus weekend brunch and dinner, it's bound to be at some point — they'll also be brewing Locale Coffee Roasters beans.
When it comes to pairing your tipple with something tasty, it'll be a pick-your-own-board affair, allowing patrons to build their ultimate combination of meats, cheeses, antipasti and more — for one, and for groups. European-style meals will also be available amidst decor teeming with natural wood, copper and leather, and for eating on a picnic rug in the grassy outdoor area.
Find Cribb Street Social at 19–23 Cribb Street from mid-September. Head to their website and Facebook page for more information.
