Bar Of The Week: Hacienda Sydney

The new vista bar Hacienda has launched. Inspired by the grand plantation architecture of Cuba, mixed with the lux yet playful modern vintage hotels of 1950s Miami, Hacienda, situated in the Pullman Quay Grand Sydney Harbour, is a botanical oasis overlooking Sydney’s iconic harbour!

What’s on the menu?

The food offering is intended to match the drinks, and will be both light enough for a nibble or substantial enough for a feast. The menu takes inspiration from Cuba’s traditional trading partners, and their local, abundant ingredients, to create dishes unique to Hacienda. We feature Latin and American delights such as yucca fries, buttermilk fried chicken, pork neck mojo and Cuban Reuben. Oh, and it wouldn’t be Sydney without a few delicious burger options as well!

Care for a drink?

The drinks menu, just like the venue design, draws its inspiration from the lux-vintage hotels of Miami and pulls on techniques from classic Cuban drinks. The back bar is as well stocked in rum as it is in American whisky, and the cocktail list features classic Cuban-esque fruit-driven drinks – think banana, guava and custard apple alongside heavier liquor-based concoctions designed to appease even the most discerning palate. A few noteworthy drinks include the Tropical Sour (banana infused Encanto Pisco, Tío Pepe, lime and honey) or the Old Smoked Presidente (aged rum, orange curacao, dry vermouth, house spiced raspberry syrup and Angostura bitters).

Sounds:

Cuban and Latin American beats.

Highlights:

With panoramic views of the city and Sydney Harbour, and an interior with subtle botanical and lux-vintage Latin American themes, Hacienda will have an emphasis on sharp service, delicious food and a stylish drinks selection in a truly unique Sydney setting.

The bill comes to:

Cuban Reuben = $18, Old Smoked Presidente = $20
