The Pig ‘N’ Whistle seems to be popping up all over town, with this one on the corner of Brunswick and Robertson Streets in the Valley, being the latest addition to the pig drove.
Gone are the days of the dark, dingy British theme pub in this newest of whistling piggy establishments.
This Valley pub is a lighter and more modern variation on a theme.

While this is the newest pub in the Pig ‘N’ Whistle Family, it has been around for almost a year now, so I was hoping teething issues would be sorted.
While I was very grateful that they were still making cocktails at 1am (a big tick over our previous bar Sixes and Sevens which kicked everyone out at midnight), my amaretto sour was a bit on the small side- especially for $18. Pictured below is the drink in its entirety without a sip taken out. It tasted great, I would have just liked a bit more of it.
I moved on to the more standard drinks after this, and am happy to report they all came in normal sized servings.
The atmosphere at the Pig was great all night. We were able to procure a booth with ease, but the room was still full of people making the most of a small dance floor in front of the DJ.
The exposed brick was a rosy shade of pink, rather than the usual dark red brick I’ve come to expect from the Pig. This really lifted the whole atmosphere and set off the modern light fittings well.

If you’re looking for somewhere that’s modern yet friendly, this Pig ‘N’ Whistle in the Valley may just save your bacon.
Just stick to beers though.
