The best bars in Newtown and Enmore, Sydney – Dan’s Daily | Dan Murphy’s
Could this be Sydney’s best area to go out? It makes a strong case.
If we could only go out in the one Sydney suburb for the forseeable future, we’d be pretty tempted to pick Newtown. This dynamic pocket of the city’s inner west is heaving with eclectic pubs, bars and restaurants that scratch every itch you might have for a night out. We also like to cheat a little because, for these purposes, we’re counting Enmore next door as part of this one-town-only hypothetical.
You’ve got pubs like the Duke Of Enmore for that casual catch-up (but make sure you also stick around for the live music), wine bars such as Famelia where you can enjoy next-level vino with snacks to match, cocktail havens like Bar Planet to sip on the most considered Martinis, or you can go underground and lean into the good times at Pleasure Club. But then there are also breweries, Euro specialists, tiki bars and so much more.
Whatever makes up your idea of a great night out, you’ll find it at the following top pubs, bars and restaurants in Newtown and Enmore. So, take your pick, make a night of it and you might just find yourself returning to this part of town again and again.
A brewing legend and his son have created a welcoming venue to serve their wildly popular beers and top-notch cocktails with ale-friendly snacks and the best sunsets in town.
Mexico’s food and drink offering in Sydney takes a giant step forward at this intimate and innovative eatery in the beating heart of one of the city’s buzziest ’burbs.
Billed as “otherworldly terrain”, Pleasure Club in Newtown is a crazy cauldron of a basement bar with live entertainment and a line-up of nostalgic cocktails shaken into the small hours.
The friendliest of neighbourhood wine bars, Famelia trades in good times, approachable and intriguing wines, and sublime snacks, making it an instant hit on vibrant Enmore Road.
A three-for-one Newtown crowd-pleaser offering clever tropical cocktails in the middle, a Euro-style wine bar and shop up front, and a sunny courtyard out back.
Named for a Creedence Clearwater Revival song, and slinging hot dogs, Champagne and sharp cocktails, Fortunate Son might be hard to pin down, but it’s plenty of fun trying.
This neighbourhood bar by some of the city’s savviest operators celebrates the Martini in cosmic style with a tight list of Antipodean craft spirits served by unfailingly friendly staff.
Bright natural light meets brightness on the palate at this lively neighbourhood restaurant and bar that focuses on fermenting, pickling, yeasts and bubbles with happy results.
Not so much pint-sized as middy-sized, this inner-west bar by a band of seasoned pros celebrates the local Australian watering hole in all its unpretentious glory, but with better drinks.
Party down the bottom, classier party up the top. Inner-west stalwart The Warren View has opened Teddy’s, a charming new bar on its top level, so you can tailor your night to your fanciness levels.
Dingy, divey, always lively – The Duke has been the inner west’s best place for cold beers and loud tunes since the 1980s, and now it’s home to a tasty line-up of eats, too.
A gleefully retro watering hole on a rollicking strip of Sydney’s inner west, Enmore Country Club caters to all comers with nostalgic cocktails, hyper-local brews and an inviting vibe.
A cracking and gigantic Euro-centric wine list bolstered with sherries and vermouths is delivered alongside unswervingly tasty tapas-style dishes in a relaxed retro setting.
