☀️ HELLO, SUNSHINE! 🌸🍷

Bendigo has turned on the sunshine, and that sounds like a very good excuse for a long lunch, a few plates to share and a beautifully chilled glass of Rosé.

Grab a seat in Chancery Lane, order something delicious from the kitchen and settle in for the afternoon.

Good food. Cold Rosé. Sunshine.
Sometimes the simple things are the best. 🥂

🍺 Bendigo On The Hop is TOMORROW! 🍺

We love a cracking craft beer as much as anyone… but at some point tomorrow, your palate might quietly whisper:
“Mate… I need a whisky.” 🥃😂
That’s where we come in.

Duck into The Dispensary Bar & Diner for a sneaky little break between breweries. Grab a beautiful whisky, let us shake you a proper cocktail 🍸, have a bite to eat, reset the tastebuds… then head back out and continue your hoppy adventure.

Think of us as your beer intermission. 😎
🥃 Great whisky
🍸 Seriously good cocktails
🥢 Delicious food
🍺 And yes… plenty of great beer if you’re not ready for a break at all.

Have an awesome Bendigo On The Hop tomorrow, Bendigo — and come say g’day along the way.

🍓 FINNO’S BEEN PLAYING WITH STRAWBERRIES… 🍓

And when Finno starts playing with fruit behind the bar, things tend to get a little interesting. 😂

He’s been busy creating a brand-new strawberry cocktail — bright, juicy, beautifully balanced and, most importantly, bloody delicious.

It’s fresh. It’s fun. It’s seriously cool. And it tastes even better than Finno looks as a strawberry. 🍓🤓

Come in, grab a seat, order one and make a night of it.
Our kitchen is firing too, with all those big Dispensary flavours designed for sharing — and, naturally, there’s always a cocktail, craft beer or cracking bottle of wine waiting to go alongside.

🍓 New strawberry cocktail
🥢 Delicious food
🍸 Serious drinks
❤️ Good times in Chancery Lane

Dinner & drinks at The Dispensary Bar & Diner.
See you down the lane.

FINNO. HARD AT WORK. 🍷

Coffee. Laptop. A suspicious-looking glass of something delicious.

It can only mean one thing…
Spring is coming to The Dispensary. 🌸

Finno’s currently tucked away planning a stack of awesome events, dinners, and a few slightly ridiculous ideas for the warmer months.

There’ll be wine. There’ll be cocktails. There’ll be great food. There’ll be stories. And, knowing Finno, there’ll probably be at least one idea that starts with “Righto… hear me out.”

Bendigo in Spring is bloody magnificent — and we intend to make the most of it.
Watch this space. We’ve got some fun coming.

🍷 THIS IS RED WINE WEATHER.

Bendigo has turned on the cold, grey, where-did-summer-go? weather… and frankly, we’re here for it.

Because this is the weather for settling into The Dispensary, ordering something delicious from Drew’s kitchen and allowing us to put a seriously good glass of red in front of you.

Pinot? Nebbiolo? Shiraz? Something French you can’t pronounce but suddenly desperately need another glass of?

We’ve got you.
Come in from the cold, grab a table, eat ridiculously well and let us look after you.
Dinner at The Dispensary Bar & Diner.
Warm room. Hot food. Big flavours. Great red wine.

Sounds considerably better than cooking tonight. 🍷

Bookings recommended. Walk-ins encouraged.
