Panenka Bar & Grill

Head down to New Era Square in Highfield and you'll find Panenka doing what it does best: grilled meat and decent beer in a space that feels more like somewhere mates gather than a restaurant trying too hard. The kitchen takes its Czech heritage seriously—think quality cuts cooked properly over fire, paired with an interesting drinks list that goes beyond the usual. It's the kind of place where you can rock up for a casual weeknight dinner or make an evening of it, and everyone around you seems genuinely happy to be there.
