Tell us about your bar:
The Cidery Bar & Kitchen is dedicated to serving the best ciders in Australia. It is located in the heart of Sydney’s CBD inside Rydges World Square Hotel, overlooking the buzzy shopping piazza. Created to pay respect to the great beverage of cider, The Cidery Bar & Kitchen was developed as a collaboration between the Sydney Brewery and Rydges, who set out to create a contemporary, urban-style craft bar in the Sydney CBD, ideal for informal dining and relaxed get-togethers. With an in-house cider-making facility to lovingly ferment, maturate and filter the best quality apple juice, the flagship multi-award-winning Sydney Cider is produced on-site by the Sydney Brewery team.
What’s on the menu?
The casual food menu was designed to complement the generous cider range. Small bites are available on the snacking menu, including bar favourites such as pulled pork and slaw sliders, salt and pepper squid, mozzarella arancini, fried chicken wings, fat fries with rosemary salt and our delicious handmade woodfired pizzas (available after 5pm). The professional team of chefs developed a special menu to include the house craft cider on the menu, adding Sydney Cider to the slow cooked pork ribs and Lovedale Lager to the traditional fish and chips.
Care for a drink?
The Cidery Bar & Kitchen showcases the Sydney Cider range alongside Sydney Brewery’s Sydney-inspired award-winning range on tap, from Surry Hills Pils to Paddo Pale, Glamarama Summer Ale and Lovedale Lager, the winner of three trophies in the last three years at major Australian competitions. The Cidery also serves a fierce cocktail menu and premium local and imported wines. The star of The Cidery Bar & Kitchen, of course, is Sydney Cider, which is available freshly served from the tap and also in bottles.
Sounds:
The atmosphere shifts on Friday nights with different DJs every week playing the best of house, deep, tech, funky, indie and nu-disco.
Highlights:
The Cidery Bar & Kitchen offers lunch deals up to $18 on weekdays, from the substantial Wagyu beef burger to tasty light options like fig and duck salad and the traditional fish and chips. The bar also has its own VIP Club that gives 20 per cent off any purchase (excluding promotions) at The Cidery Bar & Kitchen and also at Bar Surry Hills.
The bill comes to:
The popular Wagyu beef burger matches very well with either Paddo Pale Ale or Pyrmont Rye IPA, or any of the Sydney Brewery beers, really, which are just $5 all day everyday, so that comes to $23 for the burger and beer (or $18 for the combo Wednesdays at lunchtime).
