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.

A Newtown favourite since 2015, Continental Deli is home of the Mar-Tinny and a menu built around tinned seafood, charcuterie and European bistro classics with an Australian edge. Sit at the bar for anchovies, gildas and a drink, or head upstairs for the full experience. Open from midday, 364 days a year. Walk in or book, everyone’s welcome.
