The Buena

Bar, Restaurant, Australian, European, Gluten-free, Vegan, Vegetarian

The Buena is a slick corner bar in Mosman with craft beers and cocktails. Chic and spacious, The Buena attracts a cool and curated crowd of locals. They sip away on curious concoctions in the Buena Bar, a super sophisticated setting featuring designer furniture, or sometimes they kick back in the light-filled Vista Bar that offers the relaxation of a leafy green and casual courtyard.

Barrel Bar

Restaurant, Bar, Contemporary

Set on the doorstep of Mosman is Barrel Bar – a chic and stylish venue which features gourmet wines, tried and tested by their very own in-house sommeliers. Sophisticated and sexy, Barrel Bar offers a curated dining experience centred around modern Australian mains and shared plates. It even has its own speciality liquor store for those who just can’t get enough of Barrel Bar‘s hand-selected wines.

The Hunter

Bar, Restaurant, African, European, Australian, Gluten-free, Vegan, Vegetarian

The Hunter is a boutique hangout; it is cool and curated, boasting an adventurous drinks menu of wine and cocktails. The African-inspired venue is rather impressive and offers an interior just as vibrant as the crowd it attracts. The food menu is equally exciting with colourful share plates to punctuate the gourmet-designed drinks.

Stranded Gourmet

Bar, Cafe, Restaurant, Australian, European, Gluten-free, Vegan, Vegetarian

This cafe-bar is one of Mosman’s best-kept little secrets. Sitting under the radar, Stranded Gourmet is a great place to buddy up with a friend. The menu houses all the classic cocktails, and there is also a great and varied selection of beers, wine and spirits – even to suit the most picky of palates. Whether its beers bar-side, or cocktails in the courtyard, there’s a reason locals are tight-lipped about this place.

Town & Country Bar

Bar, North American, Gluten-free, Vegan, Vegetarian
