Young Hearts

The Verdict

Led by the same team behind Neptune Food & Wine just a few doors down, the industrial-chic surroundings of Young Hearts is set to bring big things to the region. The former stomping grounds of quasi bottleshop and bar Galah, Young Hearts champions the structure's bygone workspace tenure with a myriad of original fittings from steel beams overheard to exposed brick throughout. 

Young Hearts is centred around bringing more of the good times to the Windsor area with a focus on live music; a rotation of different local talent is pegged to take to the turntables and fill the chambered space well into the night closing at 1am. 

Behind the bar, Young Hearts has opted to elevate the classics, focusing on locally-sourced produce and natives to dial up its cocktails, as well as bringing plenty of local producers with beers from Bodriggy Brewery to wine from Jumping Juice and even a limoncello slushie on tap from Tommy’s Booze (Freddy's Pizza)—just to name a few. 

On the food front, there'll be an array of culinary talent with rotating chef residencies every six months. First off the bat is none other that the local legends from Freddy's Pizza just around the corner who'll be dishing an array of Italian-leaning snacks from Abruzzo-style lamb Arrosticini skewers, to Cacio e Pepe croquettes, salumi plates, a hefty fried eggplant sanga and plenty more.
