Unique Wines and Country & Western Vibes at This Queen's Park Spot

"Elliot Milne may have closed the original Milk Beach location on Lonsdale Road but he's not letting the site go, instead teaming up with sommelier Alexandra Price and flipping it into a wine bar. Where Milk Beach was Aussie, Bar Blondie will draw influence from southern European wine bar culture."

"Alex's 160-bin list will feature bottles from around the world, a mix of old world estates and new indie producers, which'll be complemented by an Italian and southern French menu of bar snacks, small plates, fresh pasta and sharing grill dishes."

"More than just a place to eat and drink, Elliot and Alex are wanting Bar Blondie to be a creative, cultural and community hub, which'll run a programme of music, DJ sets, chess nights, guest speaker nights, wine tastings and more. And with interiors that mix mid-century modern with country & western, it's set to look the part too."

"As a Queen's Park local I want to create a central 'living room' for the community - a place to bring people together over great food and wine; a place to experience different cultural events and meet new people. Lonsdale Road is a unique hub of restaurants, breweries, designers, co-working spaces and other creative businesses; it's the perfect place to bridge the gap between East London wine bar creativity and energy, and West London sophistication and comfort."

The original Milk Beach location on Lonsdale Road is being reimagined as Bar Blondie through a partnership between Elliot Milne and sommelier Alexandra Price. The new wine bar will take inspiration from southern European wine bar culture rather than an Australian focus. A 160-bin wine list will feature bottles from around the world, combining established old-world estates with new independent producers. The menu will pair Italian and southern French bar snacks, small plates, fresh pasta, and sharing grill dishes. Bar Blondie is intended to function as a creative, cultural, and community hub, offering music, DJ sets, chess nights, guest speaker nights, wine tastings, and more. Interiors will blend mid-century modern with country and western styling.
