    The Longueville

    Sip some cocktails in the brand new Villa courtyard. The Garden Terrace is one of the main features of the Longy, providing an awesome option for those who prefer the outdoors. Bathed in the sun during the day and with heaters for the winter months, the Garden Terrace caters for diners and non-diners all year round. Featuring a full outdoor bar, massive screen for all those big sporting moments, plenty of seating, and a great atmosphere, the Garden Terrace is definitely the locals favourite.

    Lillah

    Lillah means beautiful night in Arabic.  Lillah is reminding people that Middle Eastern cuisine is more than Lebanese or Turkish food.  They also have some cocktails for you to enjoy

    They even have some cocktails for Dry January such as (HRH) The Berry Prince. Made with @seedlipaus_nz non-alcoholic gin, seasonal mixed berries, rose water, citrus, homemade orgeat and apple juice, this is as good as mocktail royalty gets. Perfect for those participating in Dry January or looking for a booze-free option!

    Check out the Passionfruit Queen below. Nothing says spring like passionfruit in a drink… ridiculously refreshing with a hint of herbs and ginger.

    Shorties Bar and Dining

    Shorties is an intimate restaurant and bar serving up food, designed to be shared, emphasising fresh produce and where everything is made in house.  The owners, Phil and Steve, know their stuff and know what patrons want.  Phil is the co-owner of Small Bar in Crows Nest and Kirribilli and Steve, part-owns The Hayberry in Crows Nest.
