Are you ready to STEP BACK IN TIME to an age when men were dapper, women were genteel and cocktails…read morewere potent? Come then, friends, down to Golden Age Cinema. Attended their first birthday party last night and got to see some of the reasons this place rocks socks. Like the tiny, old-school cinema with all the original touches, like low-slung wooden chairs, green velvet walls, and the coup de grace, the unbelievable old film projectors that they found in the basement of the Paramount Building (when film reels had to be changed every 20mins during a movie). The main bar is low-lit and great date territory, the cocktails are inventive (maple pecan Old Fashioned, anyone?) and they do a small range of big-taste toasties. Oh and there's a secret mirrored performance stage hidden behind a remote-controlled curtain in the main bar.

I came here with a friend after he recommended it for a catch-up venue. Golden Age Cinema & Bar is…read morea really lovely little place to have an intimate night with a friend (or probably a date... great mood lighting!). The bar had a delicious-looking cocktail menu and a nice range of pre-cinema snacks to choose from. It's only a small venue but it's perfect for a couple of drinks and conversation before you head in to watch a film. The actual cinema is really cute. Older-style seating and a pretty small screen might put some people off... but I loved it. Overall Golden Age made me feel like Sydney is finally "growing up"... it's a venue less concerned with trying to look cool and more focused on being a quality, enjoyable option for anyone and everyone. I highly recommend it!

We thought this restaurant was a part of Spice Alley but it just happens to be a restaurant that…read morebutts up against Spice Alley. My mom is a huge fan of pho so when she didn't see anything she liked at Spice Alley, we walked into this place. At first, it felt weird walking in because it is a pretty restaurant that has fancy décor and a kind of a dark, moody, romantic vibe. I felt all wrong about entering and the server was a bit disappointed to learn that we weren't dining in but she was nice about it. They do do take out so we placed our order and waited near by to pick it up and sit outside with the rest our groups meals. Lemme tell ya, expensive or not, they know how to make a great broth here. The chicken based broth was rich and delicious. Probably one of the best broths I've ever had with pho. The portion size of noodles, chicken and veggies was good as well. My mom liked it so much, she ordered it again the second time we came to Spice Alley. I forgot to take a pic but the containers they serve the take out in are sturdy and well insulated.

If you ever crave for decent pho whilst in Ultimo, then Mekong will not disappoint. It's not the…read morebest we've ever had, but probably the best one you can find in the area. We ordered the pancake too and found that it had a very strong coconut taste. The pricing here is a little bit on the higher side, but makes sense due to its location.
