Local Bar with 20 taps of Aussie Craft Beer and Ciders, Full bar and fresh, quality meat and cheese dishes. Live Music on the weekends and a dance floor. A butcher walks into a craft brewery or is it a craft brewer walks into a butcher….

Prosciutto Bros. Craft Bar is the collaboration of two craft brewers – Jamie Cox from Kooinda Brewery and Clyde D’Angelis from Sideshow Brewing. The two partners renovated a large industrial space in Eltham with recycled, up-cycled, retro and hand crafted pieces that create a rustic charm to this otherwise harsh environment.

Behind the bar built with recycled bricks is a choice of 20 taps (15 hand selected craft beers and 5 ciders from Australia) and a bottle fridge that continues the seemingly never ending choice of local crafted goodness. The best place to start is with the house tap CHOP – a special pilsner style brew.

To accompany the beer list, the Prosciutto Bros. carefully selected the ‘stand outs’ from local winemakers from the Mornington Peninsular, Yarra Valley and Geelong regions. Ask for your favourite style or try something different like an Ingram Rd Chardonnay or a Brown Magpie Pinot Noir as a recommendation. When it’s time to raise the bar, you can always rely on the top shelf, pouring the finest, smoothest spirits for any mood, seeing to it that every thirst is satisfied. And if you can’t decide between a beer/cider or spirit, there is a couple of specially crafted cocktails on offer that will not disappoint – a Porter Martini, Spiced Ginger, Lagerita or Apple Pie.

Looking in from the outside of the open plan kitchen - projects a butcher style design with a glass deli cabinet presenting the wonderful array of meats, cheese and antipasti ingredients to entice your taste buds and hanging above it, meeting your eyes, are large steel hooks displaying hand crafted cured meats. As you look further, you see the bustle of the intimate kitchen where Chef Nick & his team prepare the succulent, melt in your mouth, flavorsome Italian home style recipe meat dishes cooked in the wood fire oven or over the Argentinean style bbq grill and spit. A favourite is the ‘Saucesage’ dish that is slow cooked cuts from the deli in a rich tomato based sauce, herbs and spices and gourmet pork sausages. Dip your fresh bread cuts into this winter warming heaven.  

The Prosciutto Bros. have designed the menu to evolve as the week evolves; starting with platter boards, onto gourmet wood fire pizza, grilled gourmet sausages, graduating to a slow cooked spit roast on Sunday guided by the kitchen team from the early morning, cooking throughout the day until the last piece has been eaten.

The Prosciutto Bros. have created a relaxed, happy and fun atmosphere where you can walk in, find your spot at a table, stool or booth, soak up the easy listening tunes in the background or the live weekend entertainment while awakening every taste bud with simple home style Italian family recipes washed down with a local crafty beer or two.

The Prosciutto Bros. wish is that every person has a unique and special experience every time they visit. Something all the Team at Prosciutto Bros. Craft Bar believes in too.
