Bridge St Garage

The verdict

Formerly a car garage, Bridge St Garage is a restaurant-cum-bar in Sydney's CBD, the brainchild of Argentinian chef Oscar Gorosito. Serving up American-style dishes – with a burger bar fronting the street, and a bistro dining area in the back – the retro-style venue has fast become a favourite of the city set, situated as it is opposite the ASX.

To drink, garage signatures include a lemon curd cosmo, summer tea party (gin, elderflower, cucumber and cloudy apple) and a bloody Mary created with house-made tomato juice. If these don't take you fancy, choose from all the classics, a broad selection of craft beer or vino. Be sure to drop by soon!
