Double Barrel Kitchen And Bar
The Verdict
This striking, sun-drenched venue—with its Tasmanian Oak and pressed metal bar, salvaged hardwood beams lining high ceilings and dreamy cluster of rattan pendant lights completing the magazine-worthy backdrop—has just filled a gaping hole in the hearts of the Coast’s social northern set. Located in Benowa, Double Barrel Kitchen & Bar has an enviable waterfront location and lounge-worthy deck chairs out front—a special setting that simply draws you in to linger.
With a breakfast cocktail menu available from 10am, you can order an espresso martini, bloody mary or a mandarin mimosa with your Canadian-style protein pancakes and no one will bat an eye. Open seven days for breakfast and lunch, dinner on Fridays and Saturdays, and afternoon sessions with live music on Sundays, this stylish cafe slash restaurant slash bar is totally worthy of a jaunt to Benowa to raise a toast to the good life—babes and fur babies welcome too.
