Bar Planet

Right by the Enmore Theatre. A weird, electric, unapologetically Inner West spot for the ultimate pour. Bar Planet strips the stuffiness right out of the classic cocktail experience. Grab a stool at that gorgeous terrazzo counter. Order the signature house mix—or ask the hyper-passionate crew to make it filthy and olive-heavy. Sydney’s discerning drinkers are fiercely loyal to the rotating Scorpino—a frosty, playful riff on the traditional Italian sgroppino. The drinks are lethal, but the real power move? The snacks. Everyone in the postcode is completely obsessed with their complimentary, heavily seasoned curry popcorn. Dangerously addictive. Totally free. The whole setup is phenomenally relaxed—you can even BYO dinner to eat right at the bar. It gets beautifully chaotic on weekends. Snag a footpath table early, crunch that popcorn, and soak up the Newtown energy.
