Step behind the bar at Union Bridge on Franklin and you’ll find 1836 Restaurant – a hidden dining room where modern Australian cuisine meets slow-crafted indulgence.

With fire as our foundation and South Australia as our muse, our kitchen smokes, roasts, and sears the best of the region with a speakeasy’s soul and a chef’s precision. Expect dry-aged meats, bold native flavours, and spirits poured with pride. It’s refined, but never stiff. It’s heritage, without the dust.
