Overview
For decades, Park Road has been Milton's go-to bar and restaurant hub; however the popular strip now has some stiff competition. A few blocks closer to the city, Cribb Street Social has taken up residence on the roadway that inspired its name, serving up everything from craft beverages to leafy hangout spaces along with it.
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 features 14 taps pumping out craft brews, cider, boozy ginger beer, cocktails and more, 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's a pick-your-own-board affair, allowing patrons to build their ultimate combination of meats, cheeses, antipasti and more from ten different options — for one, and for groups. Meals such as mushroom tortillas, loaded cobb loaves, brisket and bacon burgers, wild boar saddle, gorgonzola and sage pasta, and a profiterole and eclair tasting plate are also available amidst decor teeming with natural wood, copper and leather, and for eating on a picnic rug in the grassy outdoor area.
