Open 7 days, with tours on weekends, you can get your brew of choice takeaway or take a seat in The Tasting Room. Plan your visit by checking out their upcoming events and food truck schedule."

"Marrickville’s pet and kid friendly brewery The Grifter Brewing Co is equal parts laid-back and cool.

For a cheeky drink and some grade-A bar snacks like crackling and jerky, a visit to the bar is a must."

"Located within St Peters Precinct 75, Willie the Boatman is the neighbourhood brewery and liquor store. This laid-back micro-brewery is popular with the locals for an after-work beverage, both sit in and takeaway. From Thursday to Sunday The Tasting Room is open to the public and come the weekend, food trucks provide the perfect beer snacks."

"Italian inspired cuisine is the main focus on the menu at The Tilbury. You’ll find local produce turned into delicious dishes, like ricotta gnocchi with garlic prawns and buttermilk panna cotta."

"Pyrmont fave Bistro Clementine has relaunched with a fresh menu direction courtesy of new Head Chef Bilent Peel (Café Paci, Sixpenny and Rockpool), and a revised vision from owner Eric Morris. You can still expect to savour the inventive Euro-fare that this neighbourhood gem is well-known for, packaged up into an elevated yet affordable dining experience. Focussed on delivering their new weekday breakfast and lunch offering in their stylish venue, their new evening and weekend service will kick off soon."

"Restaurants Modern Australian Coogee. Mimi's is something of a chip off the old block (Merivale's Bert's did fancy coastal bistro first), but it's also its own fancy beast and with prime position right on Coogee Beach it's worth making it a day trip for the views out those huge, arched windows. Dress for the occasion and make the most of it – if there was ever a time to order bumps of caviar and vodka, it's now."

"Scoring a window seat at Mimi’s is the restaurant equivalent of releasing 100 white doves into the air to the sound of Barry White. For a night to remember, start your evening with an ice-cold martini and a bump of caviar, and follow up with the salt-baked crab which is theatrically cracked at the table. Executive chef Jordan Toft has a passion for great produce, so whatever you order – be it meat, seafood or vegetables – you can expect it to be the best of the best."

"Mimi's is a romantic restaurant with a view overlooking Thompson Bay. Offering some of the best fine dining in Sydney, the Coogee Pavilion spot is characterised by elegant interiors and upscale Mediterranean cuisine that incorporates caviar, lobster and black truffle."
