Walking in, this restaurant is really nice, and a lot bigger than expected! The restaurant has a very modern, well lit vibe. With tons of beer, wine, and cocktails to choose from, this is a solid spot to enjoy happy hour. We came here for dinner, and dang was it good! They specialize in utilizing their rotisserie to slow roast and crisp up juicy chicken, brisket, and porchetta. With lots of sides to choose from, a variety of other appetizers large enough to share, and other main course dishes to try, there is something for everyone here! I highly recommend trying their super crispy porchetta, and their special nachos platter specifically. I would definitely come back again whenever I'm in Sydney, Australia again! We were visiting from Texas, USA, and we were glad we gave this restaurant/bar a try. It's the perfect place to come with friends for a fun happy hour and delightful dinner, enjoy!

They only open thursdsy through to Sunday from 5pm - 10pm, pretty decent hours for a late night appetizer :D!! The menu is at the front of the shop making it nice and easy to see what's on offer :). They had the Philly cheese steak rolls, loaded Hot dogs, loaded and plain fries and deep fried oreos :) I opted for the mushroom Philly cheese steak, love mushrooms haha!! Also got the the Philly hot dog which was a schnitzel crumbed Vienna hot dog and then deep fried .. :D, got chips and a drink with the deep fried oreos as a no brainer to order haha !! 2 mates both got the Philly cheese steak roll meal aswell & an NY Hot dog with a serving of deep fried oreos each aswell :). It was a cool lay out with libe American football on the TV to the left of the counter, 2 wooden bench table for seating, a small table ro the right of the counter with sauces/pickles to add on and a drum fire in the centre to warm up :), slightly 10 times better than those crappy tall gas heaters you see at all the restaurants everywhere these days haha The Cheese steak rolls were big and cheesy and on the tasty side .. wasn't on the hard side to scoff it down before you thought about taking it slow haha.. the hot dogs were on the average side but still not bad tasting but if i went back i would just stick to the Philly cheese steaks :)!! Last but not least the deep fried oreos, they weren't ready when we got our meals handed to us but they were conveniently ready when we had finished eating so it was perfect timing :). Is what a perfect amount of Batter on the oreos and it xame with oreo ice cream aswell :). My highlight of ths night was definitely the Oreos :D!! This place definitely kicks the butts of the majority of try hard Ameican places that have opened up in the city. The quality for the city places gets lost in trying to be the best when this place has a basic menu, the food qaulity is on point and for it being in a semi industrial area with the exception of a cafe and Italian restaurant beside it, it still got younger and older crowds, also a few families coming past for the cookies :D Also the people who were working there were super friendly and helpful :D!!

Full bar, craft beers on tap, demonic murals and sick, twisted graffiti on the walls, sets the tone. Kinda a "filthy hipster" vibe. One of the servers had a tee shirt on that said "eat dick mate" it's like that. And the food. Sick burgers, some of the best in Sydney. Done properly, fried on a griddle, old school. Nice squishy toasted buns. Fucking yum! Fried chicken, their other specialty, equally awesome, offering mashed and gravy. Not sure what Aussie obsession with gravy is all about, but they offer it in portion cups like catsup in the States. WTF? Mary's gravy is worthy of the extra calories to help lube up the crusty, fried chicken. Their have been some mixed reviews about this place, but it's legit in my book, rock on Mary's!

As of the past couple of years, we have booked to go to nice restaurants on New Year's Eve, rather…read morethan face the multitudes of crowds in Sydney Harbour. We did a little research and found a dinner menu at an amazing price at Bodega 1094, in the Tramsheds facility in Glebe. Tramsheds is a large dining facility in an industrial building, the former Rozelle tram building. One of the numerous restaurants is Bodega, 1904. This restaurant and wine store has been brought to us by the team at Porteno and Bodega. For $65, we received a glass of bubbly and 5 courses including dessert. For an extra $50 we could do the matching wines. The menu is predominately Latin American and Spanish inspired tapas and the menu arranged for New Years was pretty much everything we love to eat. Food is made using fresh produce from local suppliers and prepared in tapas style dishes. On New Year's Eve, you were aslo able to do Ala Carte. We received a glass of NV Cruzat Premier Extra Brut champagne on arrival. The staff were kind enough to top us up with another as the previous dining timeslot was still being served. We appreciated this. The first dish were 2 Sydney rock oysters each with a Yuzu mignonette as well as a Crudo of scallop and finger lime. This went perfectly with the champagne. We very much enjoyed the butterflied wood grilled king prawn and smoky capsicum butter, served with NV Alma Negra Sparkling wine. We then tried a super soft steamed bun, with soft pork belly and a super crispy crackling, served with a tasty flavour of roasted sesame, wombok and salted peanut, served with the 2017 Amalaya Torrontes Riesling. The standout of the dinner was the incredibly delicious. It was the ricotta gnocchi, with zucchini flowers, chervil and a buttery sauce. We could have had a few dishes of this. This dish was paired with 2016 Alpamanta 'Estate' Chardonnay. The final main meal was a lovely Hanger steak with kohlrabi, xo. This meat was like a brisket and nice and smokey. Accompanied with a 2015 Tikal 'Natural' Malbec Syrah. To end of the meal was a refreshing strawberry granita atop a coconut sorbet. This was lovely. This came with the NV Cumbres Andinas Moscato, a very sweet drink to end on. We very much enjoyed all the food here and look forward to returning, especially for that gnocchi! We sat at the bar, just beside the little wine store for our dinner, but the restaurant does fit larger groups. The wine menu is predominately Spanish based and the Sommelier can assist you to match your dishes. You can also purchase a bottle or two to take home. Bodega 1904 also does a great lunch menu and brunch on the weekend. We thoroughly recommend a visit.
