SumBar: Wine Bar and Tapas, Randwick (14 August 2009)

Small, Cosy & Intimate

A good glass of wine is a great way to start any night and this cosy and intimate bar delivers tonight. Their website describes SumBar as a funky front bar in a classic Spanish style with a lounge area upstairs that oozes character and comfort with a touch of Melbourne and a splash of 1930's bordello. If that's too hard to imagine then join the many locals that seem to visit and give it a buzzing atmosphere. Wine prices aren't especially cheap but the glass of Catalina Sounds Sauvignon Blanc ($11) and Robert Stein Shiraz Viognier ($9) went down very well. I've yet to try the tapas but spotting the $8 Tapas Tuesday night special looks like a tempting option. The arched windows and doorway certainly reminds me of the times I went tapas bar hopping around the beautiful San Sebastián in Spain where tapas are called pintxos.

aah.. I've driven past this bar so many times. It looks so cool and seems like the place where the cool kids hang :) Glad you had a good experience there!

I had dinner there with some mates and it was ordinary - ordinary and not inexpensive.

hi betty, have you had a chance to pop in as yet to try the wines?

hi anonymous, what did you try? i think it's more a wine bar than a restaurant. they were doing a cheap tapas night on tuesdays which would make it more reasonable to try.
