Best Nightlife in The Phoenix

"A plate of blushing tuna tartare, dotted with beetroot-pickled radish, fennel pollen and trout roe is set down by a waiter in a white jacket. There's loud applause. But it's not for the beauty of the dish, nor the theatre of mixing it tableside."

"With its doors opened since 2002, this Sydney restaurant is located in the southern section of Bondi Beach, the city’s most famous beach. The main reason why restaurant’s success remains unchanged?. The answer is what is should be: the food."

"Icebergs Dining Room and Bar, 1 Notts Ave, Bondi Beach NSW 2026. 18 minutes from Club Wyndham Sydney. There are a few reasons to pay attention to Icebergs."

"Bennelong is housed in the Sydney Opera House, one of Australia’s most iconic buildings. This resultant is known for its use of quality Australian produce to create amazing flavours and a diverse à la carte menu as well as its fantastic wine menu. Apart from the amazing food and wine menu, another calling point is Bennelong’s multi-level layout, each presenting a different dining experience and a different view perfect for any anniversary."

"Bennelong’s location inside one of the iconic shells is the perfect place for a memorable meal or celebratory drinks. The architecture shines, and glimpses of the harbour through the glass sail as your dine enhances the experience immensely. We celebrated our last wedding anniversary here, and it certainly lived up to the hype for us."

"Back in the day, a visit to Sydney wasn't complete without a visit to the family-friendly nooks and picture-perfect crannies of the Grounds. You'd know it was a long wait to get in, but it was an honour you'd queue for. While the brand of prettily plated café fare popularised by places like the Grounds has filtered out to eateries around the city, it's still a lovely spot to wander around, pet the pigs and grab a fresh brewed takeaway coffee to sit in the sun with."

"This cafe is constantly rated one of Sydney’s best for a very good reason. The Grounds of Alexandra is a cornucopia of whimsical delights. From the farm animals (meeting the famous pig, “Kevin Bacon” is a must) to the play area, fountain and rambling paths leading through gardens and lanes bursting with flowers, statues and tiny creative details, the external grounds at The Grounds is, in itself, worth a visit alone."

"They have burgers, of course, but we recommend perusing the “Ole Hickory Barbeque” menu that is served only on the weekend until sold out, featuring pulled pork to chopped brisket and all the juiciness in-between. Match your filling dish with one of their American alcoholic beverages, whether it be beer or whisky, then finish your degustation with an ice cream sandwich."

"What's more American than smoked brisket, burgers and mac 'n' cheese?. The answer would be Surly's Mac 'n' cheese BBQ brisket burger!. Must try:The Handsome Mike burger may be something else, but so are their chilli cheese fries."

"What makes it special: You get to experience absinthe in the charmingly professional way it was intended to with their nonpareil fountain equipment and the thrill of a new and lucid experience!. Regardless of whether absinthe is a mythical drink you’ve yet to encounter, or a good old friend you frequently venture with, the experts at The Absinthe Salon will treat you just right!. The one of a kind experience begins from their fancy yet skilfully engineered fountain filled."

"The Absinthesalon is an intimate little establishment that’s ideal for taking a trip back to la belle époque. This bar features 30 varieties of French and Swiss absinthe. The intoxicating green liquid is prepared in the traditional fashion, with ice cold water dripping gently over a sugar cube in your glass."

"An 1886 stately home rebirthed into a lavish accommodation of opulent comforts is The Albert Mosman. Featuring 26 exclusively appointed guestrooms, there’s something for every kind of traveller. Whether you’re choosing to dine-in with exquisite meals catered by an in-house chef or venture out, the Harbourside Suburb of Mosman is littered with restaurants and cafes that will give you something to shout about."

"Young Henry’s are the trendsetters in the Inner West brewery scene. They have a well-earned reputation for their top-notch brews and community vibe. The Tasting Bar is open seven days a week and on the weekend, you can expect a crowd basking in the beer, beats and bites."

"When the crew at The Oxford Tavern crank up Black Betty, the affectionately dubbed barbeque on the patio of the revamped Petersham pub, the aroma of smoked brisket & pulled pork draws BBQ lovers from all over the Inner West. New management have bestowed a new life unto this pub that was previously known for pokies, cheap drinks, and topless barmaids. Now, they’ve taken their rightful position as one of the best American BBQ restaurant in Sydney."

"The boy's hair is quaffed, the floor is black-and-white chequered, and creamy, frozen drinks come in tall, frosted sundae glasses. Except it's like an American adult milk bar because here, those drinks have (a lot of) bourbon in them. It is indeed a very specific theme here."

"Constructed in 1858, Rouse Hill Estate was the home of Richard Rouse, the Colonial Superintendent of Public Works and Convicts at Parramatta, and the generations of his family thereafter (six generations in total) and is an example of the ‘rude’ timber farm buildings that were found throughout rural Australia. A visit to Rouse Hill Estate is quite interesting. The site is the very place where the 1804 ‘Vinegar Hill’ convict rebellion occurred, and the kids can explore the original school that is on the site as well."

"Although small in size, the Quarantine Station Museum has big appeal as it shares a lesser-known history of the arrival of European settlers. Inside the Quarantine Station you will learn what new arrivals had to go through before they were free to leave and start their new life. You can choose from a variety of guided tours including a ghost tour or a walking tour that takes in much of the surrounding beautiful bay on Sydney’s North Shore."

"Here is THE place to celebrate all things American, especially the good old fashioned rock ‘n’ roll side. Not only will you be treated to a wonderful mix of US dishes and drinks, but they boast a wonderful view of bustling Darling Harbour. They’ve even got a Rock Shop for you to shop in after your hearty meal."

"They have burgers, of course, but we recommend perusing the “Ole Hickory Barbeque” menu that is served only on the weekend until sold out, featuring pulled pork to chopped brisket and all the juiciness in-between.
