Watt Bar
Based in the former electrical substation on Charles Street, in the heart of the city’s lively Cultural Industries Quarter, this chip ‘n’ dip bar will be serving up tasting snacks alongside craft beer, spirts and vino. Once open there’ll also be a focus on hosting live events and music, so we could well have a new favourite gig venue on our hands.
Marmadukes II
Not content with being one of the best places for a coffee and a brunch in the city, Marmadukes has big plans for 2020. Their new 1,500 sq ft venue, complete with outdoor terrace, will have a stronger focus on vegan and vegetarian food.
Matilda
The new underground bar beneath Sydney and Matilda art gallery, is bringing something completely new to the city with its laid back vibe and underground speakeasy atmosphere.
Tonco
Recently opening in the heart of Sharrow Vale, this friendly neighbourhood kitchen specialises in simple, seasonal plates combined with stunning wine. Always a winning combo.
Lane 7
Opening at the end of last year, this subterranean hangout spot brings bowling, pool, ping-pong, darts, street food, cocktails and even a batting cage into a lively bar space. It’s effectively seven Tinder dates in one.
Wildcard
The ground floor of what was Napoleons Casino on Ecclesall Road will soon become Wildcard – a ‘luxury sports bar and grill’ where punters will have over 40 screens to watch the action, while the remainder of the building becomes a restaurant and gym space. Currently expected to open in Spring 2020.
