Between them, chefs Nathan Sasi and Morgan McGlone boast experience in some impressive venues: Adelaide's Leigh Street Wine Room, Belle's Hot Chicken, and NOMAD. After years of friendship, the duo (and Sali Sasi) has opened Bar Copains, a laid-back but detail-focused wine bar.

The wine list offers plenty of natural and off-beat wines complemented by a selection of more traditional drops, and the menu of small plates demonstrates technique while remaining approachable and re-visitable. Think a whiting sando, fluffy gnudi in brown butter with sage and pine nuts, or deep-fried eggplant topped with a liberal shaving of ricotta salata and tomato jam.

The humble neighbourhood vibe is elevated by the minimal interiors including a deep green slab marble bar, with small touches like ceramics, hand-made by McGlone, bringing the personal sense through to the design.

Must-try dish? The silky creme caramel dripping with sweetness-offsetting amaro.

Bar Demo

Bar Demo is a late-night vinyl bar in Newtown, designed for lovers of a well-crafted drink without the fuss. Owners Claudia Morgan and Olly Churcher (Ex-Double Deuce Lounge) are bartenders by trade, so there’s faith to be had in their curated 60-bottle wine list and seasonally crafted cocktails. The venue itself has grown from their joint experiences working and sipping in some of Sydney’s best bars—Morgan says “we wanted somewhere open late where we could buy a bottle without sitting down for a meal, sink some martinis, listen to some interesting music or have a dance”. Bar Demo certainly checks all of the boxes: open 5pm—midnight, Wednesday—Saturday, with no full kitchen but a dedicated menu for snacks, and a soundtrack of full albums played on vinyl, with each night featuring a curated selection of tunes.
