About Pino Pinelli Public Bar

Peel Street crowds duck in for charred wood-fired pies and serious cocktails beside a working fireplace. Regulars swear by the Bee Sting pizza—crisp blistered dough spiked with hot honey and chilli—often paired with a cold dirty martini or a bright Sunflower Spritz. Between the lively front bar and the moody dining room, the kitchen turns out bowls of prawn pasta, carbonara, and Wednesday Black Angus striploin in mushroom whiskey sauce. Grab an early stool before 6:30 PM for happy hour pours, or settle in on Sunday evenings when live jazz drifts through to the courtyard.

  • Woodfire Pizzas: Blistered crusts loaded with toppings like the hot-honey-drizzled Bee Sting, Mr. White, and garlic cheese pies.
  • Craft Cocktails: Bartenders shake dirty martinis, classic Negronis, and refreshing Sunflower Spritzes across distinct dining and bar areas.
  • Sunday Jazz: Live jazz bands set the mood on Sunday evenings with music carrying into the courtyard.
  • Weekly Deals: Budget-friendly weeknight pizza discounts and happy hour specials running until 6:30 PM.

    Generous early evening happy hours extend until 6:30 PM with discounted classic cocktails and spritzes.
