News & Discussion : New Restaurants, Bars & Night Clubs

Couple of things to note:

Looks like Sushi Train on Grenfell Street has now permanently closed. No reason was given on the notice stuck to the door.

Also, Gonzo Group (Cry Baby, Memphis Slims, Shotgun Willies and Sugar) are opening a bar/live music venue in the vacant tenancy at the bottom of the Crown Plaza building on Frome Street apparently with the working title of 'Honey Drip' or 'Honey Suckle' or something to that effect (named after a cocktail from one of there existing bars). Having come from the live music industry it seems like a weird choice, if I'm honest, but that said the ceilings are high enough that they could probably fit a mezzanine in the space if they wanted to.

Market Plaza refresh is underway, looks as if 'The Greek Palace' (currently operating as a food truck business) are moving in there. Not exactly in keeping with what's previously been in the Arcade but I guess if they make it work then that's good for the Arcade. Interestingly, the newish cafe that's opened just outside of the old food court is Greek influence also. Not to speculate, but do we know if the owner of the arcade is of Greek background...

Pretty sure that other one in front of the supermarket was originally Greek but it’s been run for several years by Uyghurs and they have a hybrid menu.
