The Shrub & Shutter

Best cocktails South of the river. All the drinks have excellent names and fun (and sometimes delicious) garnishes. Such potential garnishes could include jelly Lego men, snake, smoked duck, wolf shaped rind and fire. Amazing.
Very delicious food offering too. Their menu changes regularly and they offer a range of bar snacks or a 2 or 3 course menu. It’s small but you can’t really go wrong. Vegos are very much considered. At the time of my visit, there were things such as steak tartare, miso eggplant, and the most amazing panisse (chickpea chip). They also offer some pretty awesome cheese. Delicious fresh and wholesomely GREAT!
Wine list is also worth a look. Highly recommended is the Riesling. On top of all of this the staff rock and the music is always really good. Sit in the front for a slightly louder, rowdier night, or out the back for something a little more calm. And grab two stools if you’re on a date…
