1. The concept

Escobar Kitchen & Bar's philosophy is simple: vol-au-vents, devilled eggs, prawn cocktail and cheese fondue are more nostalgic than naff. This is a place for reliving happy memories and sharing the '70s joy.



2. The atmosphere

The old Queenslander cottage location is laid-back and welcoming (bookings are not required) and it is easy to linger either cosily inside by the bar or in the outdoor courtyard, playing board games with gusto as best of three, becomes best of five and so on.



3. The food

The retro food is made for sharing, with smaller plates serving as perfect starters. Larger dishes such as fish pie and apricot chicken are hearty without being stodgy. And then there's the jaffles and delicious bread and butter pudding, both perfect winter warmers.


4. The drinks

Manager and part owner Lee spices his own rum and makes his own tonic syrup. And the 'bathtub gin' is a definite highlight.

5. The location

Escobar's Merthyr Road location, just near its James Street intersection, makes it a perfect pre or post Powerhouse Theatre stop. Street parking is free and readily available.
