Even those craving something sweet can try some of their beer cocktails like the London Fruity ($23) which uses the 33.4 House Porter with rum, pineapple juice, mango juice and crème de fraise for a refreshing twist. “Crack open” a cold one with the boys, enjoy the view and get some food while you’re at it too that includes vegan and gluten-free options.
For a full-on meal, you can try out the Free-range Australian Pork Chop ($42) that’s marinated in Blond Larger and miso. Their Whole Roasted Palermo Pepper ($36) is also gluten-free and vegetarian if you want something that’s lighter and healthier, which leaves more room for drinks too so its a win-win.
