Bar Nova Brings New Energy to Kingston | Australia News

Bar Nova is set to explode onto Kingston’s scene next week, replacing the beloved Onzieme in a move that’s both nostalgic and boldly new. Owner Keirain Bunton, a lifelong hospitality veteran, wants to honor the spirit of what came before while carving out his own unique identity — something “pretty f---ing different” but still buzzing with that same electric energy. Drawing from his love of cosmic beginnings (he’s a self-proclaimed space geek), the name Bar Nova hints at a supernova of flavor and vibe. It’s not just a bar — it’s a rotating small-plate experience built around seasons and surprise, designed to make guests feel like they’re part of something special. Bunton’s mission? To bring back the hidden gems Canberra’s missing, create honest, transparent joy, and welcome everyone — without pretending to please everyone. Come for the food, stay for the feeling.
