Eastside Bar & Grill is located on the 1st floor in The Old Rum Store on Chippendale’s buzzing Kensington Street. It pays homage to the upmarket dining experiences of New York, nestled within a heritage-listed warehouse, evoking the atmosphere of New York’s famed meatpacking district.

At Eastside Bar & Grill you’ll find the finest cuts of meat that have been dry-aged in-house and prepared on the beautiful Parrilla custom-built wood-fire grill by Head Chef Damiano Balducci and team.

Dark, sexy and theatrical, the restaurant features a leather paneled bar with bronze back bar display. A custom brass light fixture, a runway of herringbone flooring and an assortment of steel and leather chairs, marrying the existing raw structure of this 100-year-old building.

Great food and ambience. Ordered medium rare steak but it was a little towards the more rare end though. Happy to dine again. Service was good. The candle was exposed and naked which was a little unsafe but waiters happily removed upon request.

We had the rib eye and it was delicious! Sides and starters are small, but left room for all the beef!

food was nice, on the pricier end...$850 for a 2kg Tomahawk steak.....mmmm no thanks stuck with a 300g rump cap @ $57...very nice. Also one thing to note is the 10% Service Charge and this was on a standard Friday evening. .....didnt think we were living in the USA just yet and on an $830 bill it adds up. feel we should have been advised that this was going to be added to the bill at the start.

Poor service. The manager is rude. Be careful to make sure your order and the stuff they delivered are the same, otherwise it’s all your fault and you will be treated very disrespectfully.
