Gelato colours, natural wine, a Michelin-trained chef, and easy-drinking "chill, not craft" beers.
Freshwater Brewing is doing (and brewing) things a bit differently, flipping the stereotypical Inner West warehouse-style brewery concept on its head. You'll find the new Northern Beaches brewery in Brookvale, joining the suburb's growing collection of brewhouses (like Bucketty's, Nomad, and 7th Day).
The roomy open plan taproom has space for 120, complete with a horseshoe-shaped bar and 14 taps pouring Freshie Brewing's bright and summery pils, hazy pale ale, and Cerveza.
The brewery also has a fully-fledged restaurant helmed by Daniel Wilson (ex-Dandy, London). The MO for the menu is "relaxed backyard meets beachside bliss"—so expect to see things like Sydney Rock Oysters with finger lime vinaigrette, BBQ prawn skewers, Swallow Rock pork sausage rolls, and fish finger sandwiches.
As well as the line-up of house brews, you'll also find non-beer drinks like fizzy Pet Nat, spritz, and even alcohol-free wines if you're on the wagon.
It's pet-friendly, child-friendly, and there are DJs spinning tunes on Friday and Saturday nights—basically, there's something for everyone even if beer isn't your vibe.

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.
Ette Sydney
Ette is a swish Sydney CBD restaurant and bar that's all about affordable, fast and fuss-free fine dining with an ever-changing menu.
