There a few combinations I get excited about.
Diamond + Cartier, Christian + Louboutin, Holiday + Paris, Prince + William, Dumplings + Beer.
DUMPLINGS & BEER!
Yes. It is a thing, and it is as wonderful, delicious and perfect as you could possibly imagine.
Definitely a Hidden Gem (and a recent addition) to the Potts Point restaurant collection of Sydney. Dumplings & Beer is the perfect place to amp yourself up for a night out in Kings Cross, or an excellent venue to impress a date with your knowledge of the back streets of Sydney.
The venue doesn’t seat more than 25 people, so you need to be strategic. Get in Early to secure a seat. Once inside you’re greeted warmly – it’s homestyle cooking for a reasonable price. There are only 14 items you can order from the menu, so go in a group, get everyone to order a couple of things and share. Think along the lines of Spiced Pork Belly sliders with cucumber, shallots and Hoisin sauce, Slow Roasted Eggplant with pan fried tofu or classic Barbecue Pork Buns along with traditional steamed and fried dumplings.
Then there’s the beer… The beer menu is more extensive then the food menu, with 20 to choose from. It’s craft beer and normal beer and beers that you may never have heard of. Definitely a worthy place for pre drinks that offers great food, too!

Inside there’s usually a Chinese movie projected onto the upstairs wall. Subtitles are on so you can keep track of what’s actually happening, but it’s all Martial Arts, so pick a character to cheer for in the epic battles. Panels on the wall are beautifully hand painted by local artists and add colour + vibrancy to the room.
It’s double story too, so of you can get a seat upstairs, go for it and survey the unfolding Dumpling & Beer madness.
I honestly don’t think I need to write any more about this. If the concept of a restaurant called Dumplings & Beer that SERVES ONLY Dumplings & Beer and is a stones throw from the main strip of Kings Cross doesn’t sell you… Then what are you even doing here?!
Check out Dumplings & Beer on Facebook and Instagram, or find them at Shop 2 9 Ward Avenue, Potts Point.
Seriously, go there. You won’t regret it… until the beer hangover kicks in the morning after.
