Experience all the charm of a 1920s jazz club in the heart of the inner west: the sophistication, the luxury and the music.
Step off the busy main street of Newtown and into a luxurious yet intimate venue inspired by the historic district of New Orleans. A purpose-built live music venue, The Vanguard gives its stage pride of place. As Newtown's home to blues, roots and jazz it has played host to Memphis soul bands, gypsy folk groups and stripped-back sets delivered by artists such as Elvis Costello.
The split-level arrangement of the venue provides a view of the stage from any seat in the house, which is especially important for those taking advantage of the dinner-and-show packages. The menu offers a range of modern Australian dishes influenced by the soul food of New Orleans. Try the juniper berry and apple balsamic pork fillets served on crispy polenta. Alternatively, graze on something from the bar menu like the Elvis wings or the pork belly pizza.
Cast your eyes over the extensive cocktail menu, which includes a range of classics and in-house concoctions. Try the Black Sea Love Potion (muddled blackberries and fig jam shaken together with gin and berry vodka) or the Vanguard's signature Muddy Waters (pulverised mint, lime and brown sugar shaken up with bourbon and green ginger wine).
