Re

After wrapping things up at its original Eveleigh location, Matt Whiley’s globally recognised zero-waste bar Re has found a new home at The Norfolk in Redfern.

The second iteration of Re (in the former corner site of La Salut) will follow the high-brow, zero-waste formula of the original venue, using redirected fruit and vegetable trimmings and discards from 15 of The Norfolk’s sister venues including Maybe Sammy, Lady Hampshire, Dean & Nancy on 22 and El Primo Sanchez.

Formerly holding the number 46 position on The World’s 50 Best Bars list, Re’s cocktail program utilises elevated and intensive processes—like distillation and preservation—to repurpose ingredients in creative, unique and boundary-pushing beverages.

A food menu developed in collaboration with PUBLIC hospitality’s culinary director Clayton Wells is also underway to complement the drinks offering and align with the zero-waste philosophy.

As part of Re’s new location, Whiley will also oversee waste management with the PUBLIC Hospitality group in an effort to minimise waste and make the whole portfolio more environmentally conscious.

Re at the Norfolk Hotel is set to open in April. In the meantime, check out the Norfolk’s food offering from Ricos Tacos.
