A vibrant Newtown favourite where creative European-leaning plates meet a standout natural wine list. Chef-owner Pasi Petänen brings unexpected flavour pairings—think potato dumplings with XO trout and devilled eggs with trout roe—served in a relaxed bar-bistro setting on King Street. Drop in for snacks and glasses or stay for something longer.

A lively Mexican cocktail bar from The Maybe Group — with Happy Hour, Bottomless Lunch, Karaoke, Disco Bingo, DJs, and more. Behind the bar, World Class Winner (2023) Eduardo Conde curates a cocktail list that heroes tequila, mezcal, and the agave spirit family. In the kitchen, Head Chef Diego Sotelo brings a Latin-American twist with tacos, ceviche, tostadas and more.

A Newtown favourite since 2015, Continental Deli is home of the Mar-Tinny and a menu built around tinned seafood, charcuterie and European bistro classics with an Australian edge. Sit at the bar for anchovies, gildas and a drink, or head upstairs for the full experience. Open from midday, 364 days a year. Walk in or book, everyone’s welcome.
