Overview
Woolloomooloo's favourite craft beer basement, The Old Growler, has announced a brand spanking new menu and entertainment lineup launching in February. Newly appointed chef Chris Hulm has joined forces with head chef Alexander Watts to whip up food offerings designed to complement the venue's pared-back vibe. Meat lovers will be pleased by pub food like fried chicken wings with lime and aioli and grass fed beef burgers alongside a few fancier options like hickory smoked pork belly with apple, fennel, dates and candied walnuts.
It goes without saying that a craft beer or two is the perfect accompaniment to any dish, with a weekly rotation of beers from local craft breweries on offer. Live music will also be a feature, from blues to funk to gypsy jazz. Venue owner Jack Brown says, "We really feel we've identified what the locals in the area want and need after trading and collating their feedback for over a year."
One of the really positive forces in the culture of Kings Cross, Old Growler has an atmosphere that's part Italian trattoria, part industrial saloon, part inviting cave. Its focus on sustainability and local community makes it a place we'll always come back to.
Thanks to the Old Growler, we have two $50 food and drink vouchers to give away. To be in the running, subscribe to the Concrete Playground newsletter (if you haven't already), then email win.sydney@concreteplayground.com.au with your name and address.
