The Dog & Monocle

Old world charm and dramatic flair beckons diners to The Dog & Monocle on Junction Street in Nowra. With a motto of ‘Adventure is out there’ and inspired by Jules Verne, this steampunk supper club and artisan bar oozes a futuristic retro feel, retaining exposed beams from the old bank building, along with a vault now doubling as a spirits room. Families and groups can gather at booth seating to enjoy a meal and catch up together, while couples cosy up in romantic corners enticed by creative fare, craft beer and cocktails. Perhaps take off on a dining flight plan with jalapeno poppers or popcorn chicken, before in-flight service turns to confit duck Maryland with lentils, zucchini flowers and muhammara. For a sweet departure, try cardamom dumplings with chai gel and gingerbread mascarpone.
