    Great drink selection and friendly bartender. Nice basement location. Perfect for drinks at Noon on a hot day.

    Came in for a late bite and drink. Lovely server but she was the only one serving everyone. She…read moretook our order and served us but never came back. We had to ask the bartender for our check and she quickly ran it to us. We are staying at this hotel so it was easy but nothing to write home about.

    I really wanted to give this a great review and thought I would after looking at their website…read more.. We went down to have a whiskey flight to find out they only do it on a Monday, oh man, it's Sunday! We waited 20 minutes to order a drink... To be fair there was only one waiter on the floor and he was running to cover the entire floor, that's not fair! The manager really should better staff the place in my opinion. We were offered our first round free as we waited so long; we didn't say anything it was just offered to us. We then ordered a second round of cocktails. Unfortunately, my second espresso martini was not at all like the first, which was delicious. This one didn't taste like coffee and tasted just boozy and not in a good way. I forced myself for a bit at $20 a cocktail, but then decided life is too short for bad cocktails and didn't drink it. 3 more staff were put on the floor when it became dark. I ordered water... I waited... I watched the waitress who I ordered from chat to other staff... I waited. It didn't come. I stared at her trying to get her attention, she looked at me and said water and walked off... We were given 1 glass to share, seriously? We've been drinking cocktails and we have 1 glass to share. Where is your RSA??? I'm giving Grain 3 stars for the waiter who ran around and manned the floor better than 4 ppl. We were offered another cocktail and then given the bad espresso martini for free, which is a nice gesture. (I asked and there was a change over in bar tender so I didn't want another cocktail) The amazing waiter is their saving grace. If the cocktails had been as good as the first one, we would've stayed for my cocktails.

    Fun speakeasy feel you'd be easy to miss. Heard music as we passed by and turned down. Labeled as…read morean "American Bar" as Americans thankfully we didn't feel too American. 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.

    It was a pleasure to come here both for the original soft launch and again after the official grand…read moreopening. 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!).

An extensive collection, much more than what is listed on the website and these guys definitely know their stuff and happily help you discover the good, the rare, the history, what works with what and all without forcing you up the price ladder. If you don't want whisky they also stock Wayward Brews. Sat at the bar, we started by paring a Port Askaig 100 Proof with a Midnight Barley Cowboy Hopped Porter which in hindsight should have finished with as an intense smokiness that works well together. We tried a few others between us. A Benromach, Amrut Fusion and a couple of others while steering clear of the popular Japanese offerings. To eat we ordered the ribs (our mate refused to share), haloumi fries (great), and scotch eggs (perfect between sips of whisky). After reaching my three whisky limit and three and a bit hours later it was time to go, and we were well satisfied with the food, and pleasant friendly guys taking us on an exploratory journey into the world of whisky.
