These are the winners in the Bar & Restaurant Revive Awards

The results are in for our people’s choice awards for Sydney venues – now it’s time to go out and support them

By Time Out in association with American Express

We shortlisted our favourites, Sydney voted, and now we’re ready to reveal the results.  

Produced in partnership with American Express, the Time Out Bar & Restaurant Revive Awards are a reader-voted celebration of our favourite venues designed to help kickstart the reopening of Sydney. 

Host Matt Okine announced the winners in an online ceremony on Monday November 8.

The categories span both ‘IN’ (to recognise the venues that have stayed open with pivots, deliveries and initiatives under lockdown) and ‘OUT’ (to salute our favourites, the places we just can’t wait to get back into as soon as we can). 

Below, find the complete list of nominees – including a few that were added because they scored significant write-in votes from Time Out readers. The ultimate winners have been highlighted, but you’re all winners to us.

We're proud to partner on the Revive Awards with American Express, whose Shop Small campaign supports small businesses that make Sydney great.
