Gowings Bar & Grill - Sydney

Great bar with an awesome selection of spirits, draught beers and cocktails. Decor was awesome, I'm not a designer but would say 1920's-30's? Food was amazing, and prices you would expect for a restaurant like this. Oh, and the girl at the door on the street was hilarious, in a good way!

Gowings is somewhat of an institution. Everyone knows it but I suspect most haven’t been. It is naturally a bit pretentious, a bit over priced, but it is definitely worth a visit.... if you have cash to burn. It is not that it is super expensive, it just not the kind of place where you order a wine that is less than $100. You are eating not just the steak and drinking that wine, but the haughtiness. The restaurant decor is quite modern and edgy. I like it a lot. Will I be back? Probably not for a while.

Great place for a late night catchup, as it is conveniently located in the CBD, however it is a little hard to find, which adds to its exclusivity and overall experience. The drinks made really well here, and the food is great quality and is obviously made fresh.

Gowings is a great cocktail bar/restaurant to pop into if you're heading to the theatre downstairs. The cocktails are innovative and often, delicious! <br/ <br/ Dining here was also pleasant, although I recommend you book ahead to avoid disappointment, as it can become quite busy especially if there is a show on. Really enjoyed the expansive menu and the way the cocktail bar is separate from the restaurant, so it feels more intimate. The service overall was great, although had to ask for our drink order a few times, as there was a long waiting time between ordering and receiving them.<br/ <br/ Ultimately, a great cocktail bar and restaurant and would definitely recommend if you're in the area!

Love the pork belly, it's slowly cooked which is very tender and juicy, the bbq seafood mix is kinda ok, the rib eye is also a good choice with red wine.
