A celebration of Sherry, Wine, Tapas, & Friends. Influenced by the culture of sip-a-little-bit-of-this-and-eat-a-little-bit-of-that, Tapavino began in August 2012 as Australia’s first Sherry Bar in Sydney, in a little lane-way not unlike something you would find in the cobblestoned alleyways of Spain. Helped by the beautiful warm vibe that greets you as you step inside and take a seat among floor-to-ceiling wine bottles, Tapavino was named runner-up in Sydney Morning Herald's 'Best New Bar' Awards within 4-months of opening. 12-months later we were named 'Best Bar with Food'.

Masuya Restaurant is located in a building, which has been designated as a cultural asset, on O’Connell Street in Sydney. This is the same place as the office of Kanematsu Gosho, the pioneer of Australia – Japan trades, was situated in 1980. Masuya Restaurant opened in 1993, then full renovation was implemented in 2006.The approx. five meters long sushi counter, designed by architect Robert Toland in ‘kabuki red’ with an idea of the stage of kabuki, has since fascinated not only local Australian customers but also various people with different backgrounds.A showcase displays more than 20 different sushi ingredients everyday including locally produced fish, which is purchased on the day. Other carefully selected ingredients are wagyu beef, free-range pork, and seasonal vegetables. Specially designed tableware of Malcolm Greenwood and tables made of Tasmanian Oak is also creating a great atmosphere. Enjoy your time in this amazing space of hospitality.

• Burgers • Sydney CBD
Mary’s isn’t simply the greatest feed in your postcode. It’s a cultural icon. Your neighbourhood staple. The big bad burger bar that saved Sydney from itself. Splatter by splatter. Sud by sud. Short menu, loud music and plenty of booze is the recipe from which Mary’s continues to grow.We exist solely for good food, good drinks and Fucking good times. None of the shit stuff. One big fucked-up family. With an open-door policy that lays out a welcome mat for the local wasters, waifs, and weirdos. Open all hours. To all persuasions. For all occasions.But we do a shitload more than that. We’re scene setters. Game changers. Lords of culture. Genre hoppers. Venue builders. Art ambassadors. Musical mavens. Disciples to the lost art of a big fucking night out.Totally irreverent. Undeniably bold. Utterly iconic. Always f*cking delicious!Beers, burgers and good times.
