Why it's worth checking out
Bloodwood sits on King Street in Newtown, one of Sydney's most vibrant, eclectic inner-west suburbs. A much-loved restaurant and bar, it's a genuine Newtown favourite — combining accomplished, produce-driven cooking with a great drinks offering and a relaxed, characterful setting, the kind of beloved spot that's become a real fixture on the lively King Street strip.
The appeal is that combination of quality, creative food, a good drinks-and-cocktail offering and a warm, characterful atmosphere in a great Newtown location, ideal for a special dinner, shared plates with friends, a date or a sociable night out. Its quality cooking and cool, inner-west character have made it a genuine favourite, and Bloodwood has clearly won over a big, loyal following.
With a 4.5 rating from more than 850 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus change with the seasons, and drinks lists, opening hours and pricing vary, while a popular restaurant fills up over weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly where needed before you go — particularly for a weekend, a group or a table at a peak time in Newtown.
