BAR REVIEWS
Verandah
Restaurant by day, tasting menu by night and two sizes of
wineglass, this drink-easy gives you what you want.
Universal
Christine Manfield's Universal nearly has it all. If only they
could make their barstools non-slip.
Strike Bowling Bar
Forget The Big Lebowski. If you've got money to burn,
luxury bowling's your game.
Bar Ritz
Hemingway enjoyed its Parisian namesake and Randwick's cheap and
easygoing version is worth a look, too.
Rambutan
Thai flavours and South Pacific chic ooze from this new Oxford
Street establishment.
Bel Mondo
Far from the madding crowds are sultry sounds, intimate surrounds
and, believe it or not, a harbour view.
Crossroads
Contradictions aside, the beauty of a hotel bar is that you can
pretend to be whoever you want.
The Settlement Bar
A beer garden should never be scoffed at in this city, except when
it's next to an overhead motorway.
Bavarian Bier Cafe Manly Wharf
The northside's German outpost is a popular spot for hoisting
absurdly large mugs of beer.
Aperitif
There's no better place to debate the pressing issues of the day.
