Order is restored. After a tumultuous time where we thought we’d lost The Walrus for good, the crew are back shucking exceptional oysters, opening tins of Portuguese and Spanish seafood, and pouring expertly paired wines and martinis for the good people of St Kilda. Next door? Sibling pub The Carpenter’s Ruin for bigger bites and equally warm vibes.
