Excellent drinks and snacks with a killer soundtrack is what you can expect to find at Busby’s, which is now open in Paddington.
Located within Oxford House, Busby’s has taken a leaf out of the music-led bars found in Paris, Berlin and LA – it's a natural wine and record bar where good times and great classic hits are front and centre.
Throughout the week, top artists and record spinners will be playing feel-good soundtracks for you to enjoy with your cocktails and tasty bites. On Thursdays, punters will be graced with an extended five-hour residency with electronic and alternative hip-hop record producer Jonti from Stones Throw Records, and Saturdays will be devoted to playing the world’s greatest albums on records from start to finish. Our first request? Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours.
Purveyor of great natural wine and co-owner of P&V Wine and Liquor Mike Bennie has created a natural wine list that focuses on Australian, French and Italian drops. The award-winning Maybe Sammy team (Maybe Sammy, Dean and Nancy on 22, El Primo Sanchez) is behind the cocktail list, which features five signature drinks. A standout: the Abbey Road with citrus gin, vermouth, Davidson's plum and Champagne. And top chef Clayton Wells (ex-Automata) is on the pans, serving up yum snacks and larger plates to share.
Public Hospitality Group (also Rico’s Tacos, El Primo Sanchez, Maybe Sammy) is behind Busby’s, which makes sense when you consider the talent they have pulled together for this new hotspot. We’re so keen (and so are our vocal cords).
