The verdict

According to its owners, Old Growler is "a collection of misfits trying to reduce personal expenses by selling what they spend all their money on." That is: good food and alcohol. At the Old Growler, down a warren of stairs just down the hill from the Kings Cross Coca-Cola sign, you can get both in spades. Local, seasonal, sustainable produce, with free-range and ethically sourced meat, is key to the dishes here, and the bar has daily Happy Hour from 5-7pm as well as weeknight specials on food, including $17.50 steak night on Thursdays.

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.
