Bart Jr.

The verdict

The geniuses behind Scout’s Honour (best sandwiches everrrr) and Morris (ultimate brunch goals) have opened a small bar in Redfern and it needs to jump to the top of your hit list STAT. Bart Jr. is mixing up the menu every three weeks with seasonal food and drink offerings so you can get your paws on alllll of the things. We could tell you how much we love their heartwarming congee or their crispy halloumi topped with burnt honey and roasted hazelnuts, but you’d have to get there real quick, because like we said, their menu is changing all the damn time. 

With their rotating selection of craft beers on tap and signature cocktails (hello dirty Aperol spritz and whiskey maple sours), you’re definitely about to discover your new go-to drink here, and we’re excited for you.

This place has mastered grungy-chic (yes, it’s absolutely a thing), and the heritage-listed exterior contrasts the modern interiors, but hey, that’s just because Bart Jr is full of (beautiful) surprises.
