This venue has been replaced by Bumbo Rum Club.
The owners of L’Entrecôte and Sabio have described their new venture as ‘Jules Verne meets Banksy for escargot and a beer’. Clearly they are going for the urban-cult vote with their ground-floor shophouse bar and lounge on Club Street. Not content with the quirky collage-of-speakers- fronted bar, zigzag-patterned floors, hand-carved, life-sized tigers and art deco grills and frames, the walls – full-length paste-ups by urban artists – will get replaced every six to eight weeks. They’ve opened with a big pop too: Delamotte champagne is served by the magnum ($145 bottle, $15 glass), alongside draught Swiss beers and a playful contemporary menu of dishes like ‘Drunken’ Snail Croquettes ($15) and ‘Plate of Meat’ ($46) – lamb chops, Wagyu beef and roast chicken on one plate.
Drinks $7-$18
