Cabinet Bar & Balconey
Editorial
This beautiful haven from the madness is certainly small, but perfectly formed. It's almost TARDIS-like in its ability to cram in multiple Parisian-style tables for two, as well as two sofas and a large wooden shared table. Extra chairs are cunningly hung from coat hooks on the wall.
The ambience is candlelit and cosy, with a real old world charm featuring patterned wallpaper and dark wood furniture. Tuesday nights are great for those on a budget with happy hour all day. While there, the tap Boags ran out, so I was upgraded to a nice Italian bottled beer. And then when my delicious prawn, chilli and refried bean quesadilla took a little longer than expected, another bottle was provided, gratis. Can't fault the impeccable and friendly staff.
The crowd is young and trendy, the wine and cocktail list impressive, and Wednesday's $10 flatbreads are extremely appealing. So do your self a favour, climb up and away from the hoi polloi and settle in for the evening with a cheese a quince platter.
