The Carpenter's Ruin

The Carpenter's Ruin is a pub bistro and bar in St Kilda that does considered, amplified pub-style food — think proper pies, moule frites, and daily specials alongside classic counter meals. They've got a solid drinks program with local and international beers on tap, an all-Australian wine by the glass list, and hearty cocktails. Open for lunch weekdays from 12pm with a swift, wallet-friendly menu, then regular service kicks in from 3pm.
