What's new on our instagram

  • Online today on Australian Bartender: Pullman Hotels is rolling out a new menu takeover across its bar venues from mid-February through to October, partnering with chef Nat Thaipun, with the first activation launching in Sydney this month.
  • Online today on Australian Bartender: Ravenspur owner, Taran Howard, doesn’t have a traditional hospitality background – and he’s the first to tell you that’s exactly why the bar works. He explains how he built the bar on instinct rather than instruction, and why service still matters.
  • Online Australian Bartender: A new restaurant and bar has opened in Glebe, with Darling Glebe taking over one of Sydney’s most historically charged dining rooms and returning it to what it has always done best: pour serious drinks and give people a reason to stay. @darlingglebe
  • Online today on Australian Bartender: Five new venues have opened inside Southbank’s newly launched Hannah St Hotel, marking the Mulberry Group’s first venture into hotels and its largest project to date.
  • On Australian Bartender today: Ravenspur doesn’t announce itself loudly. It broods. Tucked into Enmore Road, the Newtown bar trades neon bravado for shadow, warmth and a distinctly Southern Gothic sensibility that feels deliberately out of step with its surroundings – and that’s the point.
  • Online today on Australian Bartender: A new local has landed in South Melbourne – and it’s one the neighbourhood already knows. Lush 2.0 has opened in the former Wayside Inn, a pub that’s been part of the area since around 1868, now reworked into a modern, high-energy venue. @lush2.0_rooftopandbar
  • Online today: Just over an hour north of Sydney on the Central Coast, Terrigal Pavilion has opened its final dining piece with The Tropic, a 280-seat, ground-floor restaurant and bar now trading with uninterrupted ocean views and a Mediterranean-leaning menu designed for sharing.
  • Online today: Watsons Bay Hotel will reopen its fully renovated Top and Mid Decks on 29 October, marking one of the biggest upgrades in its 190-year history. @watsonsbayhotel
