The verdict

This classic Surry Hills pub has had a facelift, and boy does it look good. Headed up by Maurice Terzini (Icebergs and Da Orazio) and his team, the space is modern and bright, providing three different spaces for guests: a Dining Room, a Wine Room and a Public Bar with an open-air terrace.

On the food menu you'll find modern Italo-Australian food created by Executive Chef Monty Koludrovic, the Dining Room's Head Chef Dan Medcalf and the Wine Room's Head Chef Sam Cheetham. And, of course, a Wine Room wouldn't be complete without wine and James Hird (2015 Sommelier of the Year) will be bringing the goods when it comes to a fine drop. For those looking for cocktails and spirits, you won't be forgotten with an extensive selection of classics, pre-batched cocktails and unique local spirits.

Bars & Pubs

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.
