The Main Bar, Ballarat

After weeks of good intentions Ms C62 and I finally made it to the Main Bar last Saturday night for dinner, and I'm very glad we did. The restaurant itself is small (bookings highly advisable) but tastefully decorated, with a mixture of booths and tables. There is also a forest of wooden chairs suspended from the ceiling, which adds some quirky visual interest. Downstairs there is a cozy room with a fireplace, suitable for a small group.

A woodfired pizza restaurant, the food itself was very nice. We had pizzas with drinks and good strong coffees to finish. Staff were friendly and the proprietor Glenn even came over for a chat. He is a busy man, already operating a separate daytime business, he also plans to open a new gallery two doors down from the restaurant. Good to see this part of Main Rd continuing to regenerate, a nice addition to the existing vintage clothing, antique and Op shops in the block.
