New Guernica looks like something out of a Brothers Grimm Fairytale. With an indoor gazebo, ‘badgers backhouse’, technicolour kitchen, dim lighting and forest clearing ambiance, the interior design is like an amalgamation of Hansel and Gretel, Snow White and Rumpelstiltskin. It’s certainly not your typical bar scene, and the various nooks and crannies are filled with little secrets and design flourishes.

This place is full of charater and its like another world. On entrance there is a forest laneway, followed by a picket fenced staircase and then the bar reminiscent of a dark woodland area.

Strange creatures are all over the venue, in the form of a pharoah, frosty the snowman and a comical stalk looking at you in the corner amongst them. The venue had many seating areas that would all appeal to all size groups: from large groups in the kitchen (featuring vegetable wallpaper), to medium size groups in the back cubby house with its own smokey chimney and smaller groups in the inside curtained gazebos. The smoking balcony even features mushroom seats.
