About Mr West Bar & Bottle Shop

Downstairs operates as a packed bottle shop stocked with cold tinnies and niche spirits, while upstairs opens into a high-ceilinged loft with more than 20 rotating craft taps. The team behind the wood knows their cellar inside out, freely pouring sample splashes to guide you through obscure high-ABV stouts or crisp local lagers. In-house food stays snack-focused with smoked tomato Chappys and hefty charcuterie, but regulars know the real play: scan the table QR code to have hot pizza from across the mall delivered right to your booth.

  • Rotating Craft Taps: Over 20 rotating lines pouring rare, local, and international craft brews alongside spirits tastings.
  • Two-Level Setup: Browse retail cans and specialty bottles on the ground floor before heading up to the spacious bar and balcony.
  • Local Food Welcome: Scan the table QR code for Slice Shop pizza delivery, or bring in takeaway dishes from neighboring eateries.
  • Guided Tastings: Knowledgeable staff pour sample splashes of unfamiliar pours and host tailored tasting sessions.

    The barstaff were utterly lovely, offering tastes of beers that were quite obscure.
