Bar Stanbuli on Enmore Highway closed again in April after six years of operation doling out scrumptious Turkish meals. Locals waited to see what would take over the area. The staff from Porteno of Ben Milgate, Elvis Abrahanowicz and Joe Valore, who had partnered with Stanbuli, determined to go in themselves, teaming up with Michael Nicolian of Continental Deli fame. That’s a pressure to be reckoned with proper there.
What has remained is the kitschy exterior, a nod to the previous Marie Louise hair salon. And it’s joined a forged of favourites in Enmore, which has now obtained to be vying for the spot of Sydney’s prime ingesting vacation spot suburb.

Michael Nicolian gave us the low-down on this bar, saying: “It’s a very fucking cool wine bar with a eating room upstairs. The meals providing is unbelievable. Conventional Spanish stuff with stable choices by way of bar snacks, then extra substantial tapas with seafood, meat and vegetarian sections on the menu. For individuals who actually need to throw down, there’s a chuleta (bone-in rib eye steak cooked over charcoal).”
“Drink smart there’s a concentrate on pure wine, with a giant listing put collectively by Melvin Haxaire who’s an absolute legend from Continental and extra not too long ago P&V. There’s quite a lot of small household manufacturing stuff so there’s a bunch of wine that’s actually tough to trace down on account of rarity, excessive demand and cult followings within the wine world.” – Michael Nicolian
With regards to imbibing these guys are nailing all of the rising developments with a concentrate on hard-to-find pure wines with a giant push in direction of sherry and vermouth.

“Pure wine buffs will geek out arduous and the sherry and vermouth providing is wonderful!” Nicolian provides. “Once more following the theme of uncommon, cult following , small manufacturing stuff with a few large hitters thrown in additionally.”
The cocktail listing is small and concise. Nicolian says: There are cocktails nevertheless it’s not a large focus, so every little thing is high quality however not taking itself too severely. Assume Kalimotxo, tequila dawn, sangria, vermouth and soda. We’ve got martinis poured on the rocks and one drink that flexes our inventive cocktail prowess being the espresso negroni which is a play on the previous Aussie traditional riff from about 15 years again, I reckon. We do ours with a milk punch for the vermouth and Campari stripping quite a lot of the color and giving the drink some luxurious weight. We infuse the gin with the espresso, it’s a mix that simply works actually very well.”
