A few months back we took an in depth look at what was being planned for new Sydney bar, Big Poppa’s.
It’s the bar from The Lobo Plantation’s Jared Merlino and former Swillhouse star, Lewis Jaffrey, and they’ve taken over the space which used to house Hello Sailor.
And what they’ve created is something pretty special: a killer bar downstairs, and upstairs, a bar and restaurant serving up comfort food par excellence (you’ll find generous flavours in the Italian-inspired food — the Roman style gnocchi and the pappardelle will have you going back for a second bottle of red), and the service you’d expect from operators like Merlino and Jaffrey.
They’ve outfitted the bar with some stellar staff, too: you’ll see Daniel Cramsie (ex-Baxter Inn) behind the stick, whilst Bobby Carey (ex-Earl’s Juke Joint and Shady Pines Saloon) is overseeing the bar.
Take a look at the venue below.
