For many moons we wandered past the old Vinnies arcade, quietly wishing for someone to notice its potential as a perfectly intact tribute to yesteryear. Luckily for us, the guys from Justin Lane haven’t just noticed it. They’ve realised that potential times a zillion to the power of flippin’ awesome. That once-dormant, old school walkway is now a lively thoroughfare of pizza pans and packed-out tables spread with vino glasses and delicious Italian bites. Justin Lane’s brushed copper counters, naked light globes and clutter-free furnishings are modern but not too posh for comfort – just the way we like it round these parts. Got a craving to make merry around a carafe of red and pizza selections like jamon serrano, buffalo mozzarella and dressed rocket leaves? (Stupid question, huh.) Or a session with a well-curated drinks selection including beers from Stone & Wood and Burleigh Brewing Co? Then do it, get down here for a looksee at Burleigh’s newest asset.
