The Vibe
- The space: Art nouveau bistro meets lunar station - brass-edged terrazzo bar top by artist David Humphries scattered with jade, marble and rare French glass that resembles the Hubble Telescope's famous nebulae shots. Neon blue glow draws you in from Enmore Road.
- The crowd: Inner West locals and first-date pairs settling in for theatrical martini pours from large Spanish porrons, with bar staff spritzing lemon peel as the gin hits the glass. Gets busier after 6pm during the week.
- The energy: Intimate and moody with psychedelic patterns twisted throughout - the kind of organic cocktail theatre that makes every drink feel like a small performance. Quiet enough for conversation early evening, building to a gentle buzz as the night progresses.
What People Love
- The signature martini: Made with seasonal "infinite spirit" created with Poor Tom's distillery - a constantly evolving gin infused with local produce like heritage apples. Served freezer-cold with theatrical flair.
- Happy hour pricing: $13 martinis Monday 5pm-12am, Tuesday-Friday 5pm-6pm and weekend afternoons 3pm-4pm.
- The extras: Every drink comes with a bag of addictive spiced popcorn. Weekly Scorpino cocktail changes with market-fresh fruit and house-made sorbets. You can order the entire menu from legendary Turkish spot Saray next door - mixed snack pack with your third martini is a local move.
- The custom experience: Build your own martini exactly how you want it - gin or vodka, wet or dry or filthy, with your choice of garnish.
The Neighbourhood
- Location: Sits on the Newtown end of Enmore Road at number 16, next to the street art-adorned alleyway that leads down to cocktail bar Uncanny.
- The strip: Part of Enmore Road's bustling bar and restaurant scene, with immediate neighbours including Saray Turkish restaurant (whose full menu you can order in) and walking distance to the Enmore Theatre.
- Getting there: Easy walk from Newtown Station along King Street then up Enmore Road or catch the bus that runs direct down Enmore Road from the city. The neon blue sign makes it easy to spot among the eclectic shopfronts and street art that define this stretch.
