Bec’s Unhinged Reviews
Fifty5 On Barkly
Bec’s LOCAL LEGENDS:
Fifty5 on Barkly
Righto, gather round because this one’s a glow up of biblical proportions.
Fifty5 on Barkly… aka what we all knew growing up as Grab a Granny, has had the biggest rebrand since your mate Dave discovered gym supplements and a fade. And let me tell you, she’s not just back, she’s THRIVING.
Walk in and it’s giving retro lounge meets cool Asian fusion hideout. Moody lighting, funky mirrors, a vibe so chill you could accidentally stay there for 6 hours and not even question your life choices. There’s even a pool table with tiger print felt because why the hell not. Confidence. And it’s the cute sister of one of my favourite places ever, The dubliner!
Now the real star… the FOOD.
We got stuck into spicy pork dumplings that were so good I immediately regretted sharing. Four dumplings between two adults? Embarrassing behaviour from me. Should’ve ordered a personal tray and told everyone to grow up.
Coconut rice? Elite.
Crispy chicken & cashew? Unreal. Proper “shut up and just eat” kind of meal.
Now, the real test.
Three teenage boys.
You know, the species that communicates exclusively in grunts, TikTok references and “yeah it’s alright.”
These blokes smashed fried rice, THREE plates of calamari, and hit me with:
“that was so meta bro.”
I don’t even know what that means but I think it’s a Michelin star in teenage language.
Then, like absolute animals, they ordered THREE chocolate mousses… and now I was stuck hosting a sleepover with sugar-fuelled chaos and zero regrets.
Massive shoutout to Conleth for absolutely nailing this place. And thank you to Ruby our amazing server. You’ve taken a nostalgic old haunt and turned it into somewhere you actually want to hang out and eat until you physically can’t move.
If you haven’t been yet, get down there.
Date night, family dinner, pretending you’re cool in front of teenagers… this place ticks every box.
Stay Unhinged, Legends ✌🏼
