121BC sources their nectar from small artisanal producers, only serving Italian local varieties, so you can travel the entire length of the republic by vineyard. Like the wine list, the food menu is strictly Italian fare, packed with shareable dishes that you'll want all to yourself.

Courthouse Hotel
Nightlife

1

If shiny, sharp and chic don't excite you then the Courthouse probably will, because you're a beer 'n' burgers sort of person. You like things weathered and worn - pre-loved and unsuperficial. You hate places that attract the same crowd every night. You want to nestle in somewhere that feels like home... away from home. Look no further.

Bondi Icebergs

It is one of the best things to do in Bondi. Head up particularly if it is windy because the photos of the beach when it is empty is even better. The food is pub food but it is good quality although on the pricy side.

Head out towards the back of the Pavilion and you will find an adults game area where you can play ping pong, giant jenga, wall scrabble or anything else in-between. Great for those nights you don't really want to drink but want to go out.

Love Tilly Devine

You won't get punched, rinsed or stitched up. Love Tilly Devine is pure class. Its sophisticated aesthetic will please the most discerning palettes. The food and wine list are suitably suave. It's the kind of establishment Devine would have met a policeman she was bribing for a nip of whiskey, before sliding an envelope of cash across the table.

Try the music venue at 280 Cleveland St; soak up live tunes while playing checkers, order a cheese board between funk classics, or a boozy affogato while swaying to reggae, gypsy beats and contemporary jazz. Perhaps you'd prefer the theatre space at 342 Elizabeth St? There are over 30 shows scheduled in 2015, by emerging and established artists.

Behold, the new Newtown Hotel. A recent facelift of monumental proportions has seen this prime piece of real estate - once a dingy gay pub - transformed into a two storey powerhouse. Drink the day away on the upstairs veranda, if you can get a seat. If not, no worries. You can laze inside at one of the many booths. Or downstairs in the beer garden.

Mojo Record Bar

The manifesto's simple: eargasmic records, flavourlicious drinks, good times. But simple things are often the hardest to pull off. That's why Mojo's such a treat - cool, but not too cool. It's pitch perfect, whether you're meeting for drinks after work, stopping in on the way to somewhere else or drooling over their impressive collection of vinyl.

The Bearded Tit

We all wanted to run away with the circus once, didn't we? At The Bearded Tit you only have to travel through the front door to imagine yourself as a tightrope walker, fire twirler, lion tamer, or even the ringmaster. The fitout is meticulous, and to the delight of Carnivale purists it's totally freakish; not a hint of Cirque de Soleil to be seen.
