A fine food and wine experience in the heart of Richmond is Bierkeller by OST (formerly Ost Bar and Diner). This Austrian-European inspired beer cellar is a charming space with wooden interiors and a well-stocked bar. The venue offers a good selection of local and European craft beer on tap as well as a European menu with Austrian overtones. Think schnitzel, sausages and robust brews.
Bierkeller is the dream of its owner Rob Hagen. Rob was born in Australia to Austrian parents, and grew up with a natural passion for eating and cooking traditional food from his homeland. Childhood holidays and experience gathered over many years in the kitchen of an Austrian Ski Lodge influenced Rob’s passion for traditional Austrian Cuisine, and inspired him to pursue a career in hospitality.
After his education in Switzerland, he gained experience in renowned 5 star hotels and pub businesses before embarking on a life long dream to establish his own Austrian inspired restaurant in the heart of Melbourne.
