If there's one responsibility @michael.bascetta never takes lightly, it's choosing taps 🫡 Stoked to work with epic local producers on our line up at @thepinnaclemelbourne including the ultimate crowd pleaser @bodriggybrewingco 's Stringrays Draught 🍻
The instantly recognisable @thepinnaclemelbourne has entered its next chapter, reopening under new management. Michael Bascetta, who has taken over the pub's custodianship, says, "The Pinnacle isn't just a building; it holds decades of memories for a lot of people in the community. So while we're evolving the space and the offering, we have a responsibility to protect the soul of the pub, keeping it a familiar local where everyone feels they belong. A pub shouldn't ever feel intimidating or too shiny."

Michael Bascetta is the man behind brilliant inner north venues like Bar Liberty, Capitano and Falco, so needless to say there’s been a bit of excitement since he announced he’d bought a pub.
On the Relish podcast, he explains how he approached re-opening Fitzroy North’s iconic @thepinnaclemelbourne , the hospo legends he managed to get on board, and his formula for winning over locals (of which is he one).
You can hear our chat in full on Relish wherever you head for your podcasts, or just follow the link in my bio.
