The new bar menu will offer an array of small plates to complement the existing dining room offering, which highlights Jamie’s philosophy of allowing produce to shine in a simple, pared-back manner. Menu highlights include Sydney Rock Oysters with finger lime and rice vinegar; roasted artichokes with parmesan custard; fried whitebait with Sichuan salt; prawn katsu sandwich; and a cured meats platter with Wagyu bresaola, saucisson, and LP’s mortadella; alongside a selection of Australian cheeses.

The menu also offers a menu of signature cocktails: Sydney Common Negroni (Poor Toms gin, Campari, lemon-infused vermouth); Red Carpet (Bombay Sapphire gin, St Germain, and Pinot Noir); and Sunset Stride (pineapple-infused Olmeca Blanco tequila, red wine syrup, and lemon); alongside non-alcoholic options of Amalfi Spritz (Lyre’s Italian Spritz, Lyre’s Classico Grande, and StrangeLove soda) and The Botanist (Seedlip Garden, cucumber and basil syrup, cucumber, mint, and lime).

The Bar at Sydney Common will unveil its new menu and aperitivo hour within its dedicated bar area on Friday, June 14, from 4-11 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday and 12-11 p.m. Thursday and Friday. Walk-ins only. For more information, please visit sydneycommon.com.au.
