TL;DR
Bonny is a Brunswick Street staple pouring craft beer, native-ingredient cocktails and natural wines from 27 taps. Chef James Cornwall (ex-Iki Jime, J Sheekey) offers a seasonal bar menu. Enjoy weekly specials like $30 Wagyu and Margarita dice nights. Plus, there's a dog-friendly beer garden out back that's great all year. Add a soundtrack of funk, country and disco, and youβve got one of the best all-rounders in Fitzroy.
Fitzroyβs Favourite Spot for Sips, Snacks and Seriously Good Vibes
27 Taps, Minimal Waste, Maximum Fun
Thereβs no drinks menu quite like Bonnyβs. Of the 27 taps, only a dozen are reserved for beer. The rest flow with kegged cocktails, natural wines, and cold brew β all delivered with an emphasis on sustainability and flavour.
And these arenβt your average drinks. The cocktail list offers fun, local twists on classics. Try the Japanese Slipper made with Ant Gin. Enjoy the bold Davidson Plum Rainforest Spritz. Donβt miss the housemade chilli margarita, which has the perfect kick. Behind the bar, leftover beer gets turned into syrups and reductions, giving second life to whatever didnβt make it into the pint glass.
Casual Dining by One of Melbourneβs Best Chefs
Bonnyβs kitchen uses a rotating chef residency model. However, its long-term partnership with James Cornwall (ex-Cumulus Inc, Iki Jime, J Sheekey) is one to keep.
Cornwallβs menu highlights bold land-and-sea flavors. You can expect ethically sourced seafood, wild game, and seasonal veggies. Enjoy a variety of bar snacks and sharing plates. Highlights include:
-
Sher Wagyu with Diane sauce, fries and salad (Wednesdays and Sundays)
-
Oysters with yuzu jalapeΓ±o vinaigrette
-
Rosemary focaccia, served thick and golden
-
Baked three-cheese gnocchi
-
Grilled barramundi or Wagyu cheeseburgers for those not feeling the steak
