At its core, this is a bar and bottle shop where you can eat. Owned by Con Christopoulos and Joshua Brisbane (Kirk’s, The European), it consists of two adjoining spaces at street level – a bar with counter seating and a bottle shop with tables – and a cellar downstairs. Sit at the bar for the best experience.

The vibe is decidedly loose and casual; you can pluck a bottle from the 250-strong collection and drink it in-house for $25 corkage, or ask staff to recommend a left-field sour beer. Counter-style meals channel British cooking with a touch of French technique. Lamb chop with a thick jus is lifted by mint and tomato salad. Cured kingfish dressed with tarragon and tomato feels more bistro than pub. Toffee pudding, though, embraces the genre in dense, sticky style.

Le Pub’s utility is varied – it works for drinks, casual first dates or for grabbing a bottle on your way home. A bit like the perfect pub, really.

Good to know: The retro music deserves a shout-out, spanning everything from The Cure to Whitney Houston.
