Book NowAbout Tiny Bar
Tiny Bar packs bold seafood and considered drinks into a snug Brunswick East room where diners sit inches from the open kitchen. The floor plan feels more like a friend's kitchen than a commercial venue—just a tight cluster of seats and an open workspace. Neighbours drop by for sweet king prawns, fresh pipis, and cool cucumber layered with goat's curd. The compact kitchen turns out rotating daily catches from abalone to delicate scallops alongside house-made bread and a focused wine list.
- Chef Counter Proximity: A compact workspace puts diners right beside the chefs preparing each course.
- Seafood-Focused Small Plates: Rotating plates spotlight fresh seafood, from local abalone and pipis to market oysters and prawns.
