Kumo Izakaya(0)
Andre Bishop (Robot Bar and Golden Monkey) is a self confessed Japanophile - of Japano-geek. He’s a man that’s taken the business of sake and made it his business by bringing its unique flavor and style to the streets of Melbourne.
Most recently he has launched Kumo Izakaya & Sake Bar in East Brunswick. “I have relished the opportunity to combine what I love most about izakayas in Japan with original elements that celebrate local culture and produce,” Bishop said of his latest venue, “Kumo is the complete picture for me.”

Bar Ampère
Danger. Madness. Vernon Chalker’s newest Melbourne destination - Bar Ampere - is finally up and running. It’s been a while in the making, but good things come to those that…you know the word. Bar Ampere, which stands above an antiquated electrical substation, serves as a monument to the French physicist Andre-Marie Ampere.
Bar Ampere is Chalker’s realisation of a futurist dream and in testament to his vision the staff reject all traditional notions of consumption. Splayds (those things that look like a fork, knife and spoon in one) are the tool of choice for diners - a move which Chalker says ‘allows guests one hand free to engage in more animated table talk’.
Jester Seeds
The land of the ragged student is getting another facelift in its ever developing makeover and now Newtown can boast something shiny and new in Jester Seeds. Owner Ray Vircansa has combined the best of Sydney’s burgeoning small bar scene with an edginess that’s sure to attract the local crowd.
Concrete Blonde
Concrete Blonde is a new look restaurant and bar that’s making some big waves in Kings Cross and is boasting a sensational fit-out and food and drinks menu.
Patrick Dang is at the head of the kitchen having spent time at Fratelli Paridiso, Salt, MG Garage and the 2 Michelin starred Amber Restaurant (Landmark Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Hong Kong).
Bar100
Sydney is still growing with the recent opening of Bar100 down The Rocks end of George Street. Set in a heritage styled building that dates back to 1856 owner Charif Kazal said that the new haunt will be showcasing cutting edge food, entertainment and drinks in a world class venue.
Kongs Jungle Lounge
A new restaurant lounge bar has opened up in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs - Kong’s Jungle Restaurant. “Kongs Jungle Lounge is a Tiki themed restaurant lounge right in the middle of Bondi Junction (jungle), in the heartland of the Eastern Suburbs,” says Sean Finlay co-owner of Kongs.
