Tuxedo

The Verdict

Tuxedo is Sydney’s first venue dedicated to espresso martinis and, because they are committed to making all of our dreams come true, they even serve them on tap.

Brought to you by the legends from Kansas City Shuffle, Tuxedo looks after purists and adventurous folk alike. If you want to go the traditional route, then ‘The Traditional’ (see what they did there?), served on tap will be your best friend. Now if you’re feeling adventurous, ‘The Candy Man’ complete with amaretto, vodka, Kahlua and espresso served in a 100s and 1000s adorned glass will not disappoint (just think of the instas!). There is also a fab wine selection as well as Young Henry’s craft beer on tap, you know if delicious cocktails just aren’t your thing #weirdo.

In addition to caffeinated cocktails, there is a snackable AF menu, packed full of super foods, in an entirely un-pretentious kind of way. Their signature items are maple-glazed donuts with maple bacon (droooool); smoked beef brisket tacos (never a bad idea) and god damn delicious polenta chips (yes, they really are that good).

The best part? The space is huuuuge and transforms into all sorts for Paint It Up (where you can learn how to paint), Stitch & Bitch (where you can learn to sew), their legendary espresso martini master classes (hosted by the masters themselves) and oh-so much more. All you have to do is sit back and relax with an espresso martini and watch the magic happen.
