The Verdict

The Paddington Arms has had a makeover and has reopened as The Paddington; an upmarket pub on Oxford Street with a focus on great food. With Ben Greeno manning the kitchen (former Momofuku Seiobo executive chef) and a focus on roasted meats, whole fish and vegetables, the menu is designed to share with family.

The Paddington is opening their arms (see what we did there?) to the entire local community; affluent families, tradies and “farmers in gumboots” are all welcome, according to Greeno. There will also be an experiential cocktail bar, led by Sam Egerton or Palmer & Co., so there is a little something for everyone. Bon appetit!

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.
