Darlo Country Club

The Verdict

If you’re looking to get a little cheeky with a side of class, the Darlo Country Club is just that. Brought to you by the brains behind The Lobo Plantation and The Island, this latest venture sees the swank of country club style making it’s way onto the Sydney bar scene. Complete with dark leather seats, linen panelling and a pastel pink entrance, this Darlinghurst bar and diner is the place to pop your polo collars along with a bottle of champers.

With genius, Julius Yates (Lobo Plantation) behind the drinks menu, the cocktails are sure to be a talking point with flames and smoke adding that little touch of drama we all crave. Cocktail musts include The Don, which combines Pampero Especial rum with passionfruit puree, ginger syrup and mint and the Eton Fizz made from Tanqueray gin, strawberry shrub, thyme syrup and egg white.

There's an equally as sophisticated brasserie menu available to accompany your cocktailing (if you so choose) which include the likes of a decadent lobster and truffle mac'n'cheese, smoky Moroccan style chicken as well as wagyu beef sliders. Yum!
