The northern suburbs of Sydney have come a long way in drinking terms ever since Sydney’s small bar scene took off, and it’s filtering through to larger venues. Check out The Avenue for a cocktail list that offers more than the past vodka-fruit-liqueur=something-tini formulations of old (though we reckon they’ve missed a golden opportunity to revive a lost classic in the form of The Avenue, the cocktail).
Rosebery’s status as an up and coming destination for good food and drink is one of the chief reasons why new venue, The Clubhouse, is opening in the area, said general manager Julian Damjano (ex-Hugos, Goldfish).
The Bondi bubble just got a little bit more neighbourly. New bar and restaurant Neighbourhood, has been put together by a collective that features Eddie de Souza, Joshua Evans, Anthony Hughes and Keith Hodgson, along with former Bartender drinks editor, Simon McGoram.
New Sydney bar Riley St Garage opened their doors to the public last night and before service got started we took a look about this great looking venue.
Mary’s has been one of the most talked about openings of this year, with the venue getting rave reviews for their food. But this pub with some good nosh is not just a restaurant. We sat down with Kenny Graham to find out a little about the venue’s story.
The Sydney CBD bar revival is showing no signs of letting up, with a new bar and restaurant, York Trading Co, opening up on York Street.
Experienced Perth bartender James Connolly has moved on from his role at Perth’s Rockpool Bar & Grill, to open a new bar called Enrique’s. ”It’s a Spanish-themed pop-up bar in Mount Lawley,” said Connolly. “And like the bars of Barcelona we will be making the gin and tonic king,” he said.
So often the bars we write about look overseas for their inspiration, which is not to say that’s a bad thing. But it’s refreshing to see a new bar that looks no further than the outback for its inspiration.
Old Growler isn’t such a new bar anymore, having opened up in the first few months of this year. Things are cracking along well and recently hired ops manager Jordan Blackman (also an Australian Bartender Bar Awards Rookie of the Year nominee) has put in a new cocktail list to go with the Young Henry’s beer on tap.
The latest in a rash of rum bars to open, and below the tequila joint du jour El Topo, comes this footloose and fancy-free joint, Chimmi’s. What’s on the menu? Rum, rum, and oh, more rum?
The striking thing about Bar Lou Lou is the graffiti art mural that covers an entire wall of the 30 seat small bar within Emmilou. It’s being treated as a separate identity to it’s bigger brother, with a dedicated food menu and cocktail list put together for the new, San-Sebastian inspired place.
