Why it's worth checking out
The Winery sits on Crown Street in Surry Hills, one of Sydney's most dining-and-drinking-obsessed inner-city suburbs. A much-loved bar and restaurant known for its whimsical, eclectic decor and lush garden courtyard, it's become a genuine fixture — the kind of fun, characterful venue that's equally good for a glass of wine, a meal or a relaxed afternoon.
The appeal is that combination of a great wine and drinks offering, quality food and a quirky, memorable setting — the playful interiors and leafy courtyard set it apart — making it ideal for a catch-up, a long lunch or a night out. Its distinctive character and consistent popularity have made it a Surry Hills favourite.
With a 4.5 rating from more than 3,300 reviews, it's clearly delighting its many visitors. Menus, wine lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular Surry Hills venue fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're after a spot in the garden courtyard, dining with a group, or visiting at a peak time.
