BentSpoke / Charlie Parker’s

BentSpoke Brewing Co

After an impressive opening in June 2014, selling 3000L of beer in the first week, BentSpoke Brewing Co has continued to evolve and cement itself in the Canberra beer scene.

Merivale have opened the highly anticipated Charlie Parker’s on Sydney’s Oxford Street. Led by cocktail duo Sam Egerton and Toby Marshall (ex-Palmer & Co), the bar is shaped by a unifying philosophy that honours the story behind ingredients and elevates produce using both old-world and innovative techniques. Marshall and Egerton have created an impressive drinks list inspired by botany, exploring new flavours with a top to tail approach behind the bar.

On the back of widespread support from appreciative patrons, BentSpoke created over 50 different brews and served in excess of 300,000L of beer and cider in just over two years of operation to critical acclaim. BentSpoke is now undergoing expansion into a second venue, which will also function as a packaging and distribution facility for its increasingly popular beer.

At the Braddon brewpub you will find 18 varieties of beer and cider available on tap at any one time, all brewed on premise. A wide range of beer styles are made by the award winning head brewer, as well as hand crushed apple cider, all on full display so you can watch the brew team at work while you sample a selection of brews.

Brews are available to purchase both over the bar and to take-away in custom-made two-litre insulated ‘Travellers’.

A modern take on the classic pub menu featuring dishes which incorporate beer, brewing ingredients and highlight local produce.

BentSpoke Brewing Company’s Braddon brewery is open 7 days for lunch and dinner from 11am to midnight.

Charlie Parker’s

A neighbourhood cocktail bar, Charlie Parker’s is intimate and with a rich sense of history. Botanicals are on display behind the bar and the space is complimented by the grittiness of the old bricks and exposed sandstone. Housed in the basement of Fred’s restaurant, Charlie Parker’s is a local bar with stunning interiors and produce-driven cocktails.
