The Newmarket Hotel is known for many things — unique architecture, a fairy-light speckled beer garden, great pub meals — but brunch is not one of them. Until now. The loved St Kilda pub has decided to open up a tad earlier for the first time this February.
Its inaugural brunch menu, served from 10am on Sundays, features a host of classics, such as eggs benedict, buttermilk pancakes (topped with candied bacon and ice cream), mushrooms on toast and, of course, smashed avo. There are a couple of inventive dishes, too — pork belly served with grilled black pudding and a super-healthy breakfast salad.
Launching alongside the new brunch menu is a bottomless martini offering. For two hours you get access to endless espresso martinis, mimosas, bellinis and a selection of house beer and wine for just $35. Endless espresso martinis? Talk about ending the weekend on a high. To ensure your stomach is well-lined for the ensuing martinis, the pub is also offering a brekkie special. When you order the bottomless drinks package, you can purchase any item off the brunch menu for only $15.
The bottomless martini package is served during three two-hour periods — between 10am–12pm, 11am–1pm and 12–2pm. It's kicking off on February 18, so grab all your mates and head on over for what's bound to be a spectacular Sunday.
