Located at the Matsuura Drive entrance to the shopping centre, in the previous Ribs and Rumps site, The Bavarian Mackay accommodates 400 guests, including around100 seats outdoors. The Bavarian is a casual, contemporary restaurant with design features that reflect its Bavarian heritage, including stone walls, alpine finishes and large, communal wood tables. Signature features include a custom-designed vintage beer barrel wall, bespoke signage and an impressive beer stein chandelier holding over 500 1-litre glass steins suspended above the bar. Green plants and ivy garlands adorn the interior. Hanging baskets scattered throughout the restaurant add a splash of colour, while dark aluminium planter boxes mounted to the walls add an urban edge. An expansive, open dining area features The Bavarian’s signature communal dining tables, and is an ideal space for hosting functions and events.
