The verdict

This drinking venue on Enmore Road has tagged itself as Newtown's neighbourhood blues and rock 'n' roll bar. Can't argue with that – on any given night, guest DJs or live musicians, play quality tunes. Cheer yourself up with a decent selection of imported and local beers, classic cocktails, wines-by-the-glass. For a fiver, score yourself a hot dog, or a Not Dog for the vegetarians. If you feel like splashing out, upgrade to some sauerkraut and cheese. No tacky themes here, just good vibes for good times.

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.
