Prosciutto Bros. Craft Bar is the collaboration of two craft brewers – Jamie Cox from Kooinda Brewery and Clyde D’Angelis from Sideshow Brewing. The two partners renovated a large industrial space in Eltham with recycled, up-cycled, retro and handcrafted pieces that create a rustic charm to this otherwise harsh environment.
Behind the bar built with recycled bricks is a choice of 20 taps (15 hand selected craft beers and 5 ciders from Australia) and a bottle fridge that continues the seemingly never ending choice of local crafted goodness. The best place to start is with the house tap CHOP – a special pilsner style brew. To accompany the beer list, they have carefully selected the ‘stand outs’ from local winemakers from the Mornington Peninsula, Yarra Valley and Geelong regions. Plus there are spirits and cocktails.
Looking in from the outside of the open plan kitchen, a glass deli cabinet presents an array of meats, cheese and antipasti ingredients to entice your taste buds and, hanging above it, are large steel hooks displaying handcrafted cured meats. There are also a range of cooked dishes, from a bbq grill and spit to pizza and gourmet sausages.
The Prosciutto Bros. have created a relaxed, happy and fun atmosphere where you can walk in, find your spot at a table, stool or booth, soak up the easy listening tunes in the background or the live weekend entertainment while awakening every taste bud with simple home style Italian family recipes washed down with a local crafty beer or two.
