Dive into an underground world of deliciously seductive surroundings, with mouth-watering tapas and thirst quenching cocktails to complement.
Hidden at basement level on the corner of Elizabeth Street, one feels as though they have stumbled upon a hidden treasure, tucked away from the busy streets of Sydney's CBD.
Made up of three individual spaces that each have their own warm, inviting ambience, Bar Europa draws in its patrons to explore its cavernous surroundings. Rich chocolate banquettes provide a comfortable space to divulge your taste buds in the delectable tapas selection, or while high-seated bar stools give a good vantage point to watch the professional bar staff working their magic on one of their acclaimed alcoholic concoctions.
The cocktail list features some of the more classic libations, from the martini to the agave. Those who prefer something more adventurous can try the Ciroc 75, muddled with grapes and crème de mure, and served with bubbles.
For those with simpler tastes there is an impressively long selection of wines and sparkling wines as well as local and boutique beers and spirits. During the day the venue offers $7 lunch specials, and on the weekends it plays host to house DJs spinning funky tunes for those who like to get their groove on till wee hours of the morning.
