About East End Cellars

Part bottle shop, part buzzing enoteca—East End Cellars lets you pull bottles straight off the retail racks to drink at the table for a modest corkage fee. City regulars treat it as the default launchpad for a night out, sampling cellar rarities by the half-glass while staff point out regional labels. Counter service keeps the room casual. Tables spill into the lane for afternoon sun, the $30 Wagyu rump steak lunch, and hot chips alongside a cold Hugo spritz.

  • Retail Cellar & Half-Glasses: Browse retail bottle-shop shelves to drink any bottle on-site for a flat corkage fee, or sample rare pours by the half-glass.
  • Tapas & Wagyu Lunch: A concise tapas menu featuring crisp chips, share plates, and a signature $30 Wagyu rump steak lunch special.
  • Laneway Terrace: Sunny open-air seating tucked into Vardon Ave, ideal for relaxed day drinks and energetic Friday night starts.

Before you head over

Practical guidance for navigating counter ordering, peak Friday hours, and retail cellar corkage on Vardon Avenue.

  • Note Your Table Number First

    Take note of your table number before walking up to the bar. Orders are placed directly at the counter rather than via traditional table service, after which staff bring dishes and drinks over to your seat.

  • Plan Around Friday Peak Rush

    Fridays after 5pm fill up fast with post-work crowds and laneway revelers. Arrive earlier in the afternoon to secure outdoor seating along Vardon Avenue, or book ahead if visiting during major street party events.

  • Dine In with Retail Bottles

    Rather than restricting your choices to the standard menu, you can explore the adjoining retail bottle shop and have any shelf bottle uncorked at your table for a flat corkage fee.
