About Le Pub and Bottle Shop

Tucked off Hardware Lane, this hybrid watering hole pairs rotating craft taps with an adventurous, offal-forward menu. Browse chilled bottles straight from the retail shelves for corkage at the table, or pull up outside for an arvo lager and people-watching. Frequent visitors point straight to the rich snacks—specifically the snail, oxtail, and bone marrow pie, or crisp pig’s head donuts alongside a fresh yuzu beer.

  • Retail Bottle Shop Floor: Bottles line the walls and fridges for retail purchase or on-premise drinking with corkage.
  • Offal-Forward Kitchen: Savory plates bypass typical pub staples for snail and bone marrow pies and pig's head donuts.
  • Independent Craft Taps: A rotating draft lineup spanning crisp lagers, yuzu beers, and dark nitro pours.

  • Intimate Downstairs Escape

    When the street-level bar fills up, downstairs seating delivers an intimate hideaway for relaxed drinks and conversation.

    Top spot for a craft beer 🍻. Lots of choice. If the bar is full try downstairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you buy wine from the bottle shop to drink inside?

Yes, you can browse bottles directly from the shelves and fridges in the attached bottle shop to drink on-premise, though an extra corkage fee (reported around $25) applies when opening a retail bottle in the venue. By-the-glass options are also available.

What kind of food does the pub serve?

Beyond craft beers and wines, the kitchen serves rich, specialty savory fare rather than typical pub classics—favorites include the bone marrow pie (sometimes prepared with snail and oxtail), pork or pig's head donuts, liver, and potato cakes.

Where can you sit if the main bar is busy?

The bar has an intimate ground-floor area, additional seating downstairs if the main bar is full, and outdoor street-front seating suited for having a drink and people-watching.
