Now Open: A Sleek New Bar Has Just Landed Within Bendigo's Only Dedicated Steakhouse, The Woodhouse

The Woodhouse has been known for serving up some of the best steaks in Bendigo since it opened in 2012, but now it's also home to a new wine and cocktail bar.

Here, the interiors follow the same aesthetic as the main restaurant, giving off those luxe steakhouse vibes thanks to the use of white marble tabletops, plenty of timber finishes and proper mood lighting.

The wine offering here is the standout, with the team serving up 28 by the glass and over 300 by the bottle. There are a few hyper-local Bendigo drops, as well as some from across Australia and Europe.

House cocktails, beers, ciders, and an extensive range of spirits (this includes rows of whisky) round out the drink offerings at The Woodhouse Bar. Either drop by for drinks and light bites before heading to some of Bendigo's top places to eat, or follow it up with dinner at the main dining room, perhaps sampling its five-course meat-heavy set menu.

If you're after a steak, you'll still need to head next door, but Chefs and Co-Owners Paul Pitcher and Tony Panetta have created a special snacking menu just for the bar.

Top-grade wagyu is unsurprisingly included throughout the menu, featuring in the beef tartare, mini sliders and brisket skewers. But a few solid seafood and vegetarian dishes also make it on the list, alongside some salumi and cheese boards.

You'll find The Woodhouse Bar at 101 Williamson Street, Bendigo, open from 5pm till late on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and from 3pm till late from Thursday to Saturday. For more details, check out the venue's website.
