Bar Planet

Newtown, NSW

Cuisines: Cocktail

A vibrant, alive, weird, and delicious martini bar located a stone's throw from Enmore Theatre, Bar Planet takes the world's most iconic cocktail and makes it feel right at home in Newtown. Pull up a seat at the terrazzo bar and sip on the signature Bar Planet Martini, or dive into the ever-changing Scorpino special — a playful reinterpretation of the Italian Sgroppino. Drinks are accompanied by a freshly popped bag of curry-flavoured popcorn.

Bella Brutta

Newtown, NSW

Cuisines: Pizza, Italian

A Newtown pizzeria known for doing things its own way, Bella Brutta serves up what it calls “beautiful ugly” pizza. The dough is thin, blistered and a little charred, with bold toppings and a mix of Italian tradition and personal favourites from the team behind Porteño, Bastardo and Humble Bakery. Expect a few snacks to start, seriously good pizza, and a drinks list built for it, wine, beer and a strong gin and tonic. Dine in or takeaway!
