We all know how starved Northcote has been of a decent bar proper, the Darebinshire crew have long craved a good stool to call home, that ain't of the pub variety.
Thank the high heavens then for these adept new cobblers. With a name that draws to mind Hoxton, London's similarly hip Dream Bags, Jaguar Shoes, thisclass lodestone (located next to the iconic Pizza Mein Leibe) has charm and talent to boot.
If we're talking tipples, Joe's owning triumvirate are highly qualified in the pressed grape. Theirs is a master-blaster course in wine consumption. And suffice to say their gin and tonic would make the Queen's petticoat fall off, it's that breezy. There's also the requisite range of foreign beer with Sicilian longnecks and Argentinean lagers to wet ya whistle.
Onthe aesthetics angle, picture a back wall hung with a giant metal mirror reflecting an oxidising view of a deco New York cocktail house married with an Italian coffee bar. Minimalist magic. Out back they'vea killer roofless games arena, equipped with a netball hoop and an epic petanque court. Good times!
