Essen Dining & Bar runs two venues, one at The Pinnacle on Cantonment Road in Chinatown and one at Anchorvale. The shared pitch is happy hours and live bands, and the website links separate menus for each location. The team says it tries to take reservations, and asks people to message through social media to book. The business uses Linktree to share its menus, opening hours and happy hour details. The only other food court within a kilometre is Chinatown Food Street, 0.7 km away.
