Bar Freda’s

Bar snacks$$

For almost four years, the cool kids of Sydney gathered for spritzes in the sun outside Cafe Freda’s in Darlinghurst. Now, after a brief closure, founders David Abram and Carla Uriarte have reemerged with a new chapter: Bar Freda’s. The latest iteration takes over the two-storey terrace where The Abercrombie’s wine bar Lil Sis once stood.

“[We’ve drawn] inspiration from late-night bars in Berlin and other great after-hours cities,” Abram says. Think: cosy vintage vibes, a disco dance floor and classic bar snacks such as rock oysters, house-made pickles and simple pastas. Freda’s signature drink Mega Mate (vodka with caffeinated tea beverage Club Mate) returns, along with a fun lineup of cocktails such as an espresso martini slushie.

Good to know: Happy hour is 5pm-7pm, Tuesday to Sunday, and includes $7 schooners, $12 frozen cocktails and $15 Tommy’s margaritas.
