Tucked away at the very top of Angel Place Bar (there's a dedicated entrance stairway on the lane side of the building) they've gone all-out whiskey bar, and done it well. It filled up quickly after about 6pm with the after-work crowed, and while there's a decent number of seats it's not really a standing venue, so get in early if you want to be sure to get a spot. The service was top notch, and very friendly without being annoying. The menu had recently changed from what they have on their website, but they happily did up the White Negroni for us because I was keen to try it. Great place. I'll be back for sure.

I wish I had come here earlier while I lived in Sydney because it is such a classy joint. Not to mention a lil country, a lil rock & roll, and quite frankly... one of my favorite bars in Sydney. A good point of reference is the American Apparel on Oxford Street. It's in the lil alley right behind. There will be no sign, but there will be a security guard (and depending on the time of day: a line). I have had several drinks here and must have enjoyed myself a little too much bc I don't remember the names. But there is a great selection of cocktails and if you want something a lil different or a lil special, the cool bartenders can fix something up for ya! Yes, the peanuts are a nice touch. Not to mention the candles, the wooden decor, and the funkiness of it all. If you don't believe me, here's another reason why five stars is earned: a moose on the wall. Need I say more?

Typical dark lit atmosphere. Loved all of the old sewing machines. Menu is eclectic with nice higher end drink options. Had the curly fries. Be warned it's not noted that there's paprika on them and the spice was almost too much. Thankfully we had a pitcher of water on the table. Staff was fine. But as I've learned over here it's harder to flag a server down to get a bill. Things are a bit more laid back.

I loved the ambiance and the fun decor (tons of antique sewing machines). The entrance was also much easier to find than expected - it really isn't hidden like a speakeasy at all. Rather, the 'storefront' sets the mood for what is to come in the bar. We sat at the bar so we could watch the bartenders work their magic. Our bartender in particular was super friendly and when he found out that we were from out of the country, gave us a ton of tips on the NSW/Sydney CBD alcohol and club/bar restrictions in case we wanted to go out. He also was kind enough to let my companion sample a Tim Tam after finding out she'd never had one before! I ordered a chocolate based drink called "That one time at band camp" which was a perfect substitute for the dessert we didn't have during dinner. It's described as a s'more in a glass and it was just that! It was beautifully presented and the first few sips were wonderful, but it got a little too thick and sweet at the end.

The menu has changed slightly but the feelings of amazement and satisfaction after each meal remain. Harry now works out of the kitchen, but the menu still very much is his. There's elements of Japanese, a strong presence of Italian and Australian, the quintessential Modern menu of this culinary diverse dining landscape we live in. The VEAL SCALLOPINI is amazing served on garlic mash and surrounded by a mote of beef jus. Just like the SLOW COOKED PORK there's delicate technique put in to ensure the tenderness in the meat. Both served with green for balance and crunch powerful protein plates in their own right. A newer menu item perfect for brunch is the SMOKED SALMON SALAD. Served with it's side house mayo it's perfectly balanced with an equal balance of salad and fish. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the venue has an advantage over many cafes in the area as it is fully licensed and close enough to the centre of all the Crows Nest action, but far enough from the hustle to escape from work, with the family and your mates. The GRILLED SALMON was beautifully cooked and served on Asian greens and sweet potato mash, drizzled with soy and honey there's just the right amount of sweetness and balance between the potato and honey. Its presentation on the rectangle plate almost like a comet. The GRAIN FED EYE FILLET is a cut about an inch and a half or so thick and so you can appreciate the precision in its medium well success, perfectly seared on the outside with a nice juicy centre! 2 prawns accompany it with asparagus, corn and mushroom gravy and there's a slight play on the surf'n'turf with healthier bits weaved in - loved this. In reminiscing over the old menu, there have been slight changes to the presentation in some dishes, while others, as beautiful as they were (like the SOFT SHELL CRAB OPEN BURGER) are no more, however leave behind a great legacy in today's menu. The TEMPURA ZUCCHINI FLOWERS stuffed with four cheeses are still there in their grandeur and richness! Always great to see Harry and Kelvin (tho I'm always missing one of you when I drop by!).

It is a cafe by day and serves meals and cocktails by night. I asked if they did latte art, and he said they were more about the taste of the coffee than the decoration, but both were superb - taste and art. They also do a cold drip. Hubby had an old fashioned cocktail and Mojito. The bartender (owner) took care to make these and they delivered on taste. As a group with an fcba event we shared a few menu options - small taster pieces of smoked salmon with mini grapes (sourced from Vietnam). Added a nice acidity to the salmon. Then had some lovely tempura zucchini flowers with three cheeses inside. Shares some salads, a mango prawn and rocker and pear. Fresh and tasty. For the mains, had a soft shell crab burger - lightly in tempura batter, was a really nice meal. Then a salmon atop a sweet potato purée, sweet potato crisps and a honey sauce. This was super tasty and beautifully presented. For dessert had the cutest meal - a little flowerpot. Under the secret chocolate soil was a pannacotta, banana and strawberries. The cafe is large, seating downstairs too and I loved the music playing - old school 90's classics. The place was pretty quiet but I'm sure will be busy in no time.
