In a full-circle moment, they’ve come together to showcase their passion for produce-driven experiences.Located in the basement of 24 Bay St, Double Bay, the same Neville Gruzman-designed heritage building as Neil’s Song Bird restaurant, Bobbie’s was named after Linden’s grandfather, the legendary radio broadcaster Bob Rogers, who mingled with the likes of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones in their heyday.

Makaveli consistently delivers! Their $26 pasta and wine night is a steal, especially the vodka pasta paired with a chilled red. It's a must-try for a pasta lovers on a Tuesday night and is also dog friendly!
