Nixie Nox

Tucked into Swan Street, Nixie Nox is Richmond’s smallest pub with a big-hearted sense of local charm. Cosy and intimate, it trades in the simple pleasures: a focused kitchen, a polished bar, and the kind of easygoing hospitality that turns a quick round into a lingering catch‑up.

The menu keeps things tight and tasty. Share plates lead the way with corn ribs dusted in shichimi and brightened with lime, or a bowl of shoestring fries for unfussy grazing. The Lebanese eggplant brings tofu skins, chickpeas, garlic, chili and yeast flakes into a satisfyingly savoury fold, while the wagyu beef burger lands with smoky tomato relish, rocket and American cheese in a toasted brioche bun, fries on the side. There is a parma for purists, a chicken salad for something lighter, and veg‑friendly choices throughout.

Behind the bar, independence is the hallmark: beers on tap from small producers, Australian craft tins chilling in the fridge, and a considered wine list. Classics pour alongside house signatures, from a martini or negroni to the Golden Pheasant and Gypsy Canvas, each with a thoughtful, citrus‑bright sway.

Drop in for a casual drink, share a plate or two, and meet your new local. Nixie Nox keeps it small, so your good time can loom large.
