About Bar Spontana

Bar Spontana is a contemporary bar and Thai grill located at 4 Saxon Street in Brunswick, Victoria. Founded by bartending duo Josh Hodges and Caleb Baker, known for their work at Mr West, the venue offers a unique blend of spontaneous wines, craft beers, modern cocktails, and vibrant Thai-inspired cuisine.

Nestled in the backstreet of Brunswick, Bar Spontana presents a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

The interior is divided into a lounge-like front space with open windows and a narrow dining area illuminated with warm lighting reminiscent of a Thai city at dusk.

The design incorporates recycled and reclaimed materials, reflecting a commitment to sustainability.

The menu, crafted by Chef Pipat "Noomie" Yodmunee, features contemporary Thai dishes with a focus on regional flavors. Highlights include:

  • Feed Me Menu: A selection of dishes for $55 per person, offering a curated dining experience.
  • Fried Enoki Mushrooms: An addictive starter with a unique texture.
  • Esan Sausage: House-fermented sausage served with glass noodles and cabbage.
  • Charcoal Chicken: Marinated in lemongrass paste, offering a smoky flavor.

The kitchen emphasizes the use of pickling and fermentation techniques, adding depth to the dishes.

Bar Spontana's drink menu features a diverse range of spontaneous wines, craft beers, and innovative cocktails. Notable offerings include:

  • Spro Tini: A cocktail combining gentian, cinnamon, lacto-fermented nectarine, and coffee from local roaster Disciple.
  • Trans-Caribbean Night Rambler: A rum-based drink complemented by optional ginger beer.

The bar's commitment to fermentation extends to its beverage program, providing unique flavor profiles.
