TOMAHAWKS

Now that Bright has a microbrewery, chocolate factory, distillery and coffee roastery, it was inevitable that a cool bar would follow. Long and narrow with a partly open kitchen and a timber-topped bar, Tomahawks looks the part without being too slick. An on-trend menu by chef Kurt Adam includes a brilliant cheeseburger made with Seven Creek wagyu, top-notch Korean fried chicken, charred broccoli with smoked butter, and lamb ribs with a tamarind lime dressing. Adam’s partner, Megan Healy, does front of house, mixing impressive cocktails (try the sherbety, sugar-rimmed Tiki Sour) and keeping the mood friendly and welcoming.
