The verdict
Head into the basement of Fred's and you'll stumble across a prohibition-style bar and restaurant where you can nibble on small dishes and drink seasonally-led cocktails. A new addition to the ever-expanding Merivale group, this new Sydney bar is set to be a real winner with locals and visitors to Paddo alike.

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.
