Very few Sydney bars offer such a wildly diverse collection of drinks and sounds as this cute 50-seater, in the beating heart of the inner west. Fewer still that are dog-friendly with footpath seating.

Imagine taking in the human traffic of Enmore Road – ice-cold martini, glass of wine or doughnut-milk cocktail in hand – while listening to Japanese jazz and British post-punk, and snacking on thick-cut crisps with goat’s cheese dip. At Claudia Morgan and Oliver Churcher’s newish little bar, you can.

Grab a stool at the bar, or one of the cute little dating booths that line the wall, and immerse yourself in the drinks list. The martini menu is worth a dent for the garnishes alone, including a blue cheese-stuffed olive, or a whole gilda (olive, anchovy, pickled pepper) to make it a meal and drink in one.

Good to know: Snacks are kept low-key except when the bar hosts one of its semi-regular chef takeovers on a Sunday.
