Public Wine Shop, Melbourne

A wine bar with no bar, to remove any separation between staff and customers. A great bar at any point in the evening, but the aperitivo hour – from 4pm–7pm – offers $5 spritzes and bar snacks. Kangaroo pastrami, pulled pig’s-head and croquettes are the hallmarks of this flexible restaurant-slash-wine bar. Chef Dave Verhuel works magic with his wood-fired oven. Fellow owner Christian McCabe works magic with the quirky wine list. It's a partnership that makes Embla good for almost any occasion you can think of.
