Inside Barangaroo’s newest and sexiest social spot, it seems that everyone just looks ….hotter. Maybe it’s the lighting, I don’t know – but there’s a lack of stress; languid lounging is more the vibe. There’s laughter and the tinkling of glasses. Sophisticated cocktails are held by well-manicured hands, and the ‘bar menu‘ includes wagyu and...
My welcome drink of amethyst-coloured butterfly tea with simple syrup and rosemary matches the veining that runs through the massive marble accent table in the Pullman Penrith’s hushed lobby. Talk about attention to detail. In this new hot spot, which opened two months ahead of schedule, guests and visitors will find world-class cocktails, a personalised...
“Is this it, I wonder?” Lena and I are looking for Caribbean restaurant Rosie Campbell’s, a hot ticket on weekends when they offer bottomless daiquiris and rosé as well as a multi-course Carribean feast for those smart enough to make a booking. It’s a bit underwhelming from the outside, but all of that changes once...
Sitting in the sunny corner pride-of-place spot where Bel & Brio once reigned, Bottega Coco is light and bright and ever so Italian. It’s also where I just ate the best ragu I’ve ever had, and I’ve been to Italy – just sayin’. ‘We opened two weeks ago’, says Jacob, the effervescent restaurant manager. “It’s hectic,...

Apparently, they ‘may be able to stimulate some of the key enzymes that are involved in the metabolism of...
I walk right past it the first time – so well does it assimilate into the busy Surry streetscape. Google Maps yells at me, and I backtrack. There she is. Tucked quietly behind a controlled access door, there’s no blazing signage to indicate that within this smart space lies Surry Hills’ newest urban respite; thus...
You know how you go to those canvas-based paint and sips? And they tell you that ANYONE can do it; it’s so easy … and then yours comes out and looks like poo? No? Just me? This, fellow Addicts, is not that kind of place. At the Fluid Project, not only can you spend a...
OLÉ indeed, Daily Addicts! There’s a new Mexican-inspired restaurant in town with cosy booths, a soon-to-open outdoor patio and a lamb birria taco that’ll rock your caliente socks off. Make your way to Kirribilli and prepare to eat, drink and be merry. There’s even plenty for veggos. Located just off of Fitzroy Street, a short...
Freshly re-opened after being shuttered for a year and a half, Bar Tikram is one to add to your list. This outdoor venue, the only one at The Star that grants an alfresco experience, offers a tightly curated Middle-Eastern menu, and everything on offer earns its place. Inspired by his mum, come see what Chef...
To celebrate its Platinum Jubilee (that’s 70 years!) the longest-running and most beloved play in the world is HERE in Sydney for its Australian debut. As they say, don’t just see it – solve it. Think you can figure out the mystery? Outside, it’s dreary and cold. It’s that darn La Niña making her presence...
