double choc icecream sandwich

Cute underground American inspired bar. You can very easily walk past this joint unless you are looking for the sewing machines and the wooden swinging doors but if you manage to venture down the stairs to can enjoy some treats (eats and drinks). The menu has an American mix of Tex-Mex, burgers, hot dogs and some really tasty salads. The drinks list is extensive with cocktails and a great range of spirits (specialist whisky). The decor is the main draw card that I loved about this place - it's overwhelming in its clutter and pieces from jail cells bars to 30 pictures on a wall. It was quite warm downstairs on a hot day but don't let that stop you checking out this joint!

Sydney is getting tricky. Between the hidden bars with no names and the number-named bars with hidden agendas, nothing is quite as it seems these days. Despite that, I had heard wild and fanciful tales of Stitch Bar and so I sought it out one balmy Wednesday night. It's a little hard to find, yes. But no more so than Grandma's and Shady Pines (rivals in the world of awesome watering holes). Walking down York, the large plummeting staircase caught my eye and down we went. I stopped in the small foyer first while my friends (they were boys, so maybe that's why) surpassed the intricate details and bee-lined toward the booze. In the little front landing was a carefully arranged sewing display complete with old machines and garments in the works. On the opposite wall were tiny little linked chairs fit for a family of gnomes. I'm not quite sure how these tied in, but I figured I'd note them anyway. I finally found my way down the wide staircase and into the main bar, which was pleasantly uncrowded on this particular night. I took myself on a little tour and found a couple alcoves filled with intimate day beds and cushioned booths, separated by old wirework. Sitting at the bar, I propped my feet up on the rows of old sewing machines that held up the bar itself. To complete the look, the vintage Singer machine cases dangled from rope above the superb spirit collection. I asked the bartender what the sewing association was (had this been an old sweatshop in the past?) but apparently there was none. That or he didn't know it. The cocktail menu here at Stitch is top notch, and I also took enthusiastic note of the fact that they serve hot dogs, which is my most favorite food (Do you see my American flag waving?). I can't wait to go back to Stitch somewhat on the early side, get some grub and stay all night. Drop in and say hi to me because I bet once I settle in, I might never ever leave.

Where the F is this place? I am staring up at the 61, but can't see it. "Look down"

Where the F is this place? I am staring up at the 61, but can't see it. Look down. Yup... down the stairs..... ohhhhhhh..... there it is ... :-) No... Stitch Bar is not the easiest bar I have ever had to find, but wow, was it ever worth it. While still bright outside, the smooth darkness, lit by the odd candle and dim lights reflecting off the array of bottles behind the bar, showed me to a booth. Within seconds a waitress was at the table asking me what drink I wanted. Being the whisky drinker that I am, I was glad to see they had a better than normal range of single malts, but I was somewhat shocked that a dbl whisky was more expensive than a cocktail. The price of this place means that (at least for me) this place will not become a regular hangout, but damm I wish it could. The atmosphere in here was amazing. Naturally, as it was a Friday night, all the booths were full and there was standing room only, but I have been told by a friend of mine that the other weekdays are alot less busy. At a popular bar, I know it is common practice to shout at the person sitting next to you, but in that atmosphere, with that price on the drinks, I had kinda hoped that it would be a little easier to talk to the people at my table.

You will have me in this place anytime - Stitch that is. I love this bar though I did not know it was going to be Stitch after being introduced to it at a party, the Moet Pop up party. I mostly attended this to marvel at the work that the designer Sibella Court created inside with chalk, gold bevelled antique mirrors (which are all over the roof in one of the small rooms), red velvet, magnums of Moet to hold lampshades, hand painted rug of red diamonds - it's overall pretty cool and my favourite place I like to sit and sip bubbles when hanging out for the night in Stitch. I have ordered food at Stitch but have never got around to consuming it after offering it to all my companions and forgetting myself, but they all swear by the hot dogs. The staffs are fantastic, welcoming, informative and never too busy to answer any questions of which I had many for this review. If it can for me I'm sure this bar will have you in Stitch as well. Go along and enjoy this intimate little venue which is open for lunch as well as dinner.

Mac Cheese Balls, Hot Wings and burgers- decent portion size!

I hadn't been to this one before, and I loved it!! I loved the outside area, which really isn't…read moreoutside as it's in like a little shopping centre type place. But the inside as so cute, and more seats than I thought there'd be!! The lady that took our order was so nice too!!! Their chairs aren't that comfy though!! LOL!! But they actually have USB chargers as well, but the lights that are on the end of the bench seating along the wall where the chargers are are weird. It's like being in a library LOL! And it's awkward if you're with someone cause you have the light there between us. We used it as a spot light for the chips we were sharing LOL! But again, I love their burgers, and it didn't disappoint! https://www.tripadvisor.com.au/ShowUserReviews-g255060-d7255842-r646700822-Burger_Project-Sydney_New_South_Wales.html#

We were looking for a burger place to eat and one of the locals recommended this place. We were…read moredisappointed, they don't got nothing on Five Guys! Sorry maybe I need to stop comparing, but when you find a good burger and fries stick to it. Too bad no Five Guys in Sydney, they don't know what they missing. I got the Outback Burger which was small and flavorless, my Hubby got the Deluxe Burger it had a big beet on it, I've never seen that before, that was different. He wasn't impressed with his either. We also got Fries(Chips) is what they call them with a Soda. The Burgers are ridiculously overpriced we paid $39 for Burgers that weren't fulfilling. And they surcharge you $1 for using your Credit Card, because they don't accept American Cash, seriously who turns down American Cash?
