Continuing the dynamic theme from last month’s missive – we have lots of news to share from our dining tour precincts. Firstly, we're thrilled to announce the opening of The Hook, a unique Kings Cross venue with an old New York vibe of oysters, classic cocktails and a nightly crooner at the baby grand piano. In other news, we're delighted to introduce The Waratah, an innovative new venue on our Darlinghurst tour. With its captivating ambiance and beautifully designed up and downstairs spaces this bar and restaurant is a great addition to the Victoria street dining scene. Lastly, we bid a temporary farewell to Big Poppa's as the crew take a break. While their closure is temporary due to stalled development in the precinct we will still miss the Lamb Ragu and late license venue on Darlinghurst’s Oxford Street.
It’s been a while between missives but we are back for 2024. Sydney has been bit by the love bug that is Sydney Mardi Gras. There is lots happening all over town as everyone gets into the spirit of celebration. Check out the festival programme here. We have a new player in Darlinghurst, bei bar & bistrot, located in the heart of the precinct at Taylor Square. We are looking forward to introducing our guests to the Mediterranean inspired menu, in the contemporary Scandi-vibe designed dining room of this Modernist 1930’s building.
It’s been an exciting and eventful year at Sydney Connection HQ! We have embraced new experiences, developed skills, and continued to explore Sydney's vibrant dining scene. Moving offices, discovering new cocktails, and enjoying the local cuisine added a unique flavor to our journey. Refreshing swims between tour bookings, reading and and the prospect of meeting the people behind the bookings is the perfect way to balance work and relaxation over a Sydney summer.
