This wine bar and restaurant is famous for their inclusive attitude. Don’t eat meat? No worries. There’s a menu just for you. Vegan? There’s one for you too. Not into spiking your juice with gin? You’re in good hands here, because they show the same care and attention to their non-alcoholic offerings as they do their impressive wine and cocktail list. The Aloha is a holiday in a glass, but not a trashy holiday, one of the fancy ones with an infinity pool. They take fresh pineapple juice, add aloe vera and pandan and give it a fragrant, herbal lift with the addition of some Thai basil.
We don’t go out for alcohol alone – there’s music and atmosphere to consider, plus elegant service and bar snacks. When you’re meeting with pals without a trip to booze town, these ace Sydney bars are serving up something special in the name of temperance.
