Barton Fink

Best Known For

Chicken and seafood paella, with Spanish rice, capsicum, onions, saffron and spice.

A suave addition to Thornbury’s dining and bar scene, Barton Fink bar, lounge and cafe on High Street offers refuge from city bustle and creative humour for those who are familiar with the movie. Providing all the comforts of a grunge local bar, this modern venue combines moody decor with movie reels, ceiling-hung plants and one-off furnishings under the startled expression of a Barton Fink mural. Grab a seat at the bar for a signature cocktail before devouring smoked chilli prawns cooked in a claypot and served with ciabatta; then chow down on finger-licking good Chilean pork ribs, marinated with cumin, paprika, garlic and spices, served with potatoes and slaw salad. Perhaps classics such as beer-battered fish, chips, salad and tartar hit the mark, best enjoyed with an ice-cold ale.
