Church Bar & Woodfire Pizza

Amazing venue: live music, outdoor seating, converted church with soaring ceilings.
Food was top notch: gourmet pizza toppings on thin crispy crust from wood fired oven
Service: friendly but typically overwhelmed on a lovely summer night
We will definitely be back

My wife and I shared the Hereford Pizza (slowed cooked pork belly, w caramelized granny smith apples), which came out very soon after we ordered. The pizza was very good, with a very crispy crust, minimal cheese and sauce. The serving size is decent; a full meal for one person or can be shared. The list of pizzas and ingredients are unlike other places I’ve tried (e.g. crocodile, pork belly). We will definitely stop back again to try some of there other creations.
The service is decent, with patrons placing their orders at the bar, and them bringing the food out to you. The bartender who took our order was very nice.
The décor is very hip, using a church building and keeping that theme going with low lighting, candles and minimal alterations to the original interior. As one review noted, it gets pretty loud in here when it’s busy. There’s also a patio, which would have been nice on a warmer day.
There’s a good selection of wines and cocktails. My only gripe about this place is that besides pizza and drinks, there’s nothing in terms of appetizers. So you’re either having a full pizza, or sharing, but there’s no other in between options. However, as the pizzas are done so well here, this is a minor compliant.

Best bar in all of Bathurst. Amazing woodfired pizzas including crocodile, kangaroo and duck pizzas!
Great cocktail list and awesome selection of boutique beers!

Excellent pizza. Delicious cocktails (on the expensive side though, $ 13 – 16 for the signature ones) and drinks. A good place to have a large group dinner out but make sure you book a table, especially on the weekend. The outside area is really nice and bit quieter choice when the weather is good.

Nice casual dining atmosphere but can get a bit loud with a large crowd. Good woodfired gourmet pizza and a few nice options on the cocktail menu!
