SHORTIES BAR & DINING

Shorties Bar & Dining sits on Longueville Road in Lane Cove, on Sydney's leafy lower north shore. A well-regarded bar and restaurant, it's earned a strong reputation for its quality food, good drinks and welcoming atmosphere — the kind of versatile, much-loved local that suits a meal, a drink or a relaxed catch-up.

The appeal is that combination of accomplished cooking, a solid drinks offering and a relaxed, characterful setting in a convenient Lane Cove location, ideal for a casual dinner, drinks with friends or a night out. In a leafy north-shore suburb, building a strong following speaks to a venue that delivers on both the food and the vibe.

With a 4.8 rating from more than 400 reviews, it's clearly delighting its visitors. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular Lane Cove venue fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're dining with a group, after a table at a peak time, or planning a relaxed night out on the north shore.
