This baby opened up in Campbell and is sure to blow your wine loving mind. Owned and operated by lovers of wine and hospitality that have years of experience in the industry.

A Japanese delight. This bar opened up in March however I don’t think it’s as well known as it should be. An underground bar nestled away in an alley that sells a huge variety of sake, cocktails and Japanese tapers sure to excite you. The music is good, the Japanese vibe is on point and the beverages and food are delicious.

#3 Betti Bravo’s – Kingston Foreshore

An intimate bar opened underneath the old speakesy of the popular A.Baker. This bar is owned and operated by the same crew that opened Highball, 79 & Fine and Molly so you know it’s going to be stylish and full of new, exciting drinks. They’ve named the new bar Black Market as the menu includes hard to come by spirits and fat washes – where fat from bacon is infused into liquor. Their menu also has cockatails such as ‘Netflix and Chill’ and ‘Cruising Down The Street In My Six-Four’ which sound rather run wouldn’t you say? In close proximity to The Palace Electric Cinema its a destination worth checking out before or after a movie.

#5 Young & Frisky – Gungahlin

Northsiders rejoice! Young & Friskys opened in Gungahlin this year and is owned by the same people from the go-to bar Hopscotch in Braddon. Serving a lot of delicious food the venue is family friendly too. The main attraction – fried chicken! It’s American style menu has a variety of chicken options, sides and drinks as well as the usual suspects like schnittys, burgers and salads. Their cocktail menu is still large and a bundle of fun with drinks such as ‘Gin & Jam’ and ‘Killa Jerry’s’ – there’s sure to be something here for everyone.
