Overview

The folks behind Welcome to Thornbury, Welcome to Brunswick and Belles Hot Chicken are to thank for this pizza-slinging, DJ-fuelled party spot on Sydney Road. NONO sits within the former Penny Black digs, with space for 950 across its public bar, roomy beer garden and dedicated rave cave.

Kicking on until late, NONO is a surefire hit for night owls and music fiends alike, with a top-notch roster of local DJs on the decks curated by Music Director Anyo Castro. Thursdays are reserved for a riotous drag bingo night, you'll find $6 knock-offs every Thursday and Friday, and the vinyl-filled Sunday sessions have people flocking.

An unpretentious menu features top-quality $8 pizzas, all hand-rolled to order. Visit for options like a classic margherita; a mushroom, mozzarella and fontina number; and a lamb kebab pizza topped with slow-cooked shoulder, spinach and tzatziki. And yep, they're $8, all day, every day; so are extras like a rocket salad and the crinkle-cut fries bathed in Belles' famed seasoning.

Meanwhile, an easygoing drinks offering features classic cocktails alongside signatures like the Northside Lights (Patient Wolf Gin with Pampelle Ruby Grapefruit liqueur and rosemary syrup, $19) and the Super Silver Haze ($18), crafted on Don Juilo and jalapeño brine.

There's also a couple of cocktail jugs, a tap lineup starring plenty of 4 Pines brews, and fridges stocked with tinnies from the likes of Young Henry and Mountain Goat.
