I got out and about last night and hit the streets in search of a little fun with the gorgeous Nicola. We checked out Pocket Bar (cnr. Burton & Crown Sts East Sydney) and impressed we were. Entering through an aluminum roller door, this place smacks of coolness. Pop art graffiti walls, mis matched pre-loved furniture, soft and well worn sofas, exposed brick walls and a very funky soundtrack which included everything from the Beach Boys to Usher.
The friendly, casual and young staff were attentive and offered table service (we love that) and the food list was a little different - they specialise in savoury crepes. But for us, it was all about the french fries. Perfectly crispy, golden brown and soft and potatoey on the inside and served with a slightly garlicky mayo - not quite an aioli but more zingy than your standard mayo. REALLY good. We also sampled the dip plate and the olives (sicilian). Beware they're crazy admission policy. They are only licensed to hold 80 people so even though it doesn't feel full, they'll cut off all new entrants and do the old "one in one out" thing... so if you go, get there earlyish on busy nights.
We had a lovely catch up shooting the breeze about work, digital media, families, babies and most excitingly, I got the full itinerary on Nic's upcoming holiday to Africa. Fabulous, it starts in Nairobi, heads to Kilimanjaro (yes, they're climbing it) and then to safari, then down to Johannesburg and Nic continues on to London to see her family. Sounds lovely doesn't it?
So the Pocket Bar is really fun, it's definitely worth a squiz, in fact there's a little cluster of fab little bars in that strip well worth a look.
