We opened The Walrus at 9 Inkerman Street in November 2023 as a little wine & oyster bar, focused on quality ingredients, simple pleasures and the local neighbourhood. The venue is housed in an iconic building that used to be 'Little Wolf' - the wine bar next to the notorious Karen Martini-led restaurant Mr Wolf.
In a delightful turn of events we have taken on the original site of Mr Wolf, right next door to The Walrus, and are planning our next venture: The Carpenter's Ruin.
The Carpenter's Ruin is set to open by late August 2025 (yes, it's soon!) and will be a self-proclaimed 'mini' pub, serving up a classic menu of pub favourites. We're thinking about a steak night on a Monday (what's open on a Monday?!), a mussels or moules night, changing house-made pies and are still working on the rest!
The wine list will be all-Australian, there will be Stingray Draught by Bodriggy Brewing as our house beer, and we're sure there will be more than a couple of Guinesses poured every day too.
We're lucky that some of our team from The Walrus will be helping us shape The Carpenter's Ruin and have already been working hard on getting things going. We are on the hunt for people who are passionate, caring and professional to join the opening team and help us complete the gang.
As we are in the opening stages, the exact roles can be flexible or negotiated based on who is the best fit, but we are currently looking for the following roles:
Sous Chef
Junior Sous Chef
Chef de Partie
We're welcoming applications via Scout or via email to hello@thewalrusoysterbar.com
