FREDDIE WIMPOLES OPENS IN ST KILDA
The highly anticipated Freddie Wimpoles is now open for business. Following a takeover from the iconic George Hotel, the name has been changed in honour of the original owner, Frederick Wimpole. The St Kilda venue is set to become a craft-beer destination of choice on Melbourne’s south side with 13 rotating taps and a warm hunting-lodge meets neon-light American diner feel. Coming from The Local Taphouse, Wayne Seberry has taken over the kitchen at Freddie Wimpoles. Seberry took a break as a chef after finishing at The Local Taphouse in January 2015 and has been at Woodfrog Bakery until now. As an avid craft beer lover, Sebbery jumped at the opportunity to join the team. His experience in craft beer pubs all over the world worked perfectly in creating the Freddie Wimpoles menu, which focuses on sub sandwiches, hot dogs and pickled snacks – faultless beer drinking food. All meats, stocks and sauces are made in-house and bread is delivered daily from Bakery Lievito.
All ‘subs’ on the menu are matched with a tap beer on rotation; the food is unpretentious, celebrating old-school flavours. The classic Ruben with corned beef, sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing is matched with 4 Pines Kolsch, with the lightness of the Germen Ale breaking the richness of corned beef and mustard. The Traditional French Dip sub with roast beef, horseradish and beef juice for dipping is matched with the 2 Brothers Growler, a match made in heaven with complementing hearty flavours.
Freddie Wimpoles, 125 Fitzroy Street, St Kilda
Opening hours:
Sun – Wed: 12pm – 1am Thurs – Sat: 12pm – 3am
