Our Story
"The OG"
(The Original Gitster)
“Ay up lad, you reet?”
Right smack in the heart of Melbourne’s Northern Suburbs, Thornbury to be precise, you’ll find Northern Git – a real gastronomic delight.
Locals lovingly call it ‘The Git,’ where they’ve mastered the art of dishing up fantastic food and pouring perfect drinks with a wink and a no-nonsense attitude.
Northern Git or simply ‘The Git’, flung open its doors back in June 2014, introducing a fresh and fabulous experience to the folks of Melbourne’s Northern Suburbs. Stepping into ‘The Git’ is like walking into your own laid-back haven, where the vibe is all about honest, no-B.S. dining and sipping.
