All right. This one is about Bench wine Bar situated at
Newtown. Well it all started with a Friday evening. One of my close mate and
myself finished work and walked into Newtown. Agenda was to find a good place
to sit and relax, have a quiet little drink and then maybe some good food in
one of the eateries. Being the winter, a regular pub was not on our agenda. Walking towards on the king street, we walked
all the way towards St Peters station. I do remember a nice a place that I had
passed a number of time, which was close to Corelli’s Café, but unfortunately I
couldn’t see it. Another place where we went but it was a bit too dark and
dodgy. As we walked back from St Peters, we came across Bench, which seemed to
be a nice place. 
As we entered, I think the ambience did win our hearts and
we settled for the table with the couch.The décor is great. A bit dark with multi coloured lights in the corners, which gives it a very chic and modern feeling. On the left corner are the instruments placed, suggesting live music. A large wall hand painitjng on the right side, bar stools and stools overlooking the window on the road outside. Very modern, casual and yet comfortable and elegant. As the name suggests, it is a wine bar. In terms of wine, they have a very long wine list with wine from France, Spain, Argentina, New Zealand and our own Australia.
The food menu is interesting. They have small eats and
bigger eats- all wine suggestions. We started with the Chicken Nacho’s which
were great. Quite delicious, topped with salsa, chicken and cheese. We tried a
NZ red and it was perfect. Some great conversation and a comfortable place.
The food item which I tried next and which I swear by is the
Buffalo Wings. Out of the world. Spicy, and delicious- I just cant get over the
craving. Ever since my first visit, I have visited this place almost 4 times in
the last one month and the chicken wings are to die for. An absolute must have
to order.
All in all, a great place to sit, have a few drinks with
some nibbles. Lovely ambience, and very relazxing and soothing. They have Jazz
and Live singers on Sunday evenings, which adds it up.
Wednesday to Saturday from 5pm
Sunday from 4pm
