Anchovy Bandit, being situated under a cinema takes its name from an old Quentin Tarantino screenplay, ‘Captain Peach Fuzz, and The Anchovy Bandit.’ Like all good screenplays their story is one full of twists and turns. Anchovy Bandit was founded in 2018 by three friends, all with an extensive hospitality background. Anchovy Bandit was a passion project, a whole-in-the-wall pizza and cocktail bar, focusing on slinging good pies and good times.  After three years Anchovy Bandit expanded into the space next door, changing the venue’s narrative. Shane Wilson joined the team as executive chef and co-owner, transforming the once whole-in-the-wall cocktail bar into a thriving suburban eatery.
