Pretty chill atmosphere in a convenient location. The food is like fancy pub grub meets cafe and there's a great range of drinks from beers and cocktails to tea and coffee.

Fantastic espresso martinis and friendly staff make PICA bar a great option for a drink with friends. It's great people watching out the front or secluded out the back with big tables and an alternative vibe. Great nibbles too!

We come to PICA regularly. It's a great central pub with a nice inclusive feel. Decent cocktail menu, friendly staff and a modern but casual vibe. The food is typical pub grub, but there's some yummy healthy options for those so inclined. They have beer/wine combo deals with a burger $20) or steak sandwich $25). It's consistently good tucker.

I needed a burger for lunch on a rainy Saturday and came here. Found the place was busy and the two guys were struggling to keep up. It took a while before someone took my order as they were serving food and coffee to everyone who had already ordered. Ordered at the counter the steak sandwich which was a scotch fillet, bacon, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, butterscotch onion and garlic aioli on toasted Turkish bread with glass of wine; a reasonable $25 total. I sat down at the table, which unfortunately still had old dishes as did the table next to it. It also needed a clean. But once my food and wine arrived, which didn’t take too long, the waiter cleaned around my plate. Love the sandwich and the butterscotch onions made the dish extra special. Love the venue, and the food and wine was good. Staff despite being run off their feet were helpful.
