GQ have released their list of ‘Sydney’s Best Bars’.
Said of Monopole; “A 500-strong wine list by one of Australia’s best sommeliers and a snack menu by one of Australia’s best chefs. Yep, the boys behind The Bentley have gifted Sydney a dark, moody, energetic wine bar like no other. Drop in en route to dinner, or settle in for an all-nighter. It’s the gas.”

Join us as we host award winning Melbourne restaurant EMBLA for an evening of collaborative food & wine, Sunday 15th October.
In 2016, Embla took out Timeout Melbourne’s ‘Best New Restaurant’ and ‘Best Casual Dining Restaurant’ awards. Sitting pretty at #6 on the AFR Top 100 Restaurants list, The Australian likened their chefs to “bushrangers at work in the kitchen”. New Zealand Executive Chef Dave Verheul has travelled the world and back, through the swinging doors of The Savoy Grill, The Fat Duck, The Bentley and the Matterhorn, honing his classic training in the process.
We can’t wait to see what their collaboration with Monopole’s Brent Savage and Nick Hildebrandt will produce. Five sharing courses + snacks $120 – Book Now as places are limited.
Myffy Rigby includes Monopole as one of Sydney’s Top 20 ‘Liquor Lords’:
It’s a wine bar, it’s a restaurant, it’s a meeting place and touchpoint for wine fans and producers alike. Sit up at the bar for folds of pastrami on crispbread, juicy lamb ribs and tiny local scampi served in their shell and let owner-sommelierNick Hildebrandt look after the wine.
Monopole was awarded the Wine List of the Year at the 2017 Good Food Guide Awards on September 5, the equivalent to our industry’s “Oscars”. “It’s a fine line between a wine list that can challenge your drinking habits while maintaining the culture of comfort. At Monopole, that line is both assured and brilliantly clear.” Read the full story here
