Frisco's

The recently reinvigorated Frisco Hotel is just a five-minute walk from the Botanical Gardens and a ten-minute walk from the Sydney Opera house. This cool and collected hotel bar has modern décor and a large balcony with CBD and Woolloomooloo Wharf views.

Pull up a bar stool and nibble on bar snacks like chicken wings with aoli, beef nachos or a grazing board composed of roasted vegetables, prosciutto, salami and more. For a larger meal, try delicious braised beef cheeks with celeriac puree, crispy pork belly or grilled barramundi with potato rösti. Keep it light and fresh with a black pearl barley salad, or go all out and add lamb, chicken or house smoked salmon for just a few more dollars.

There’s an excellent wine list, but the unique cocktails are the real conversation starters.

There’s ten never-seen-before concoctions available alongside all the classics and large jugs to share.
