Tell us about your bar:
Corridor is a showcase of all the best that Newtown has to offer. Nestled in the heart of King Street, it’s your classic small bar done without the pretension. Decked out with a combination of twinkling fairy lights and amazing local art, from the street Corridor intrigues you with only a glimpse of the fun waiting inside. Once past the bustling bar in the doorway, you’ll find there’s actually plenty of room inside including a sunny rooftop terrace that’s Newtown’s best kept secret. The bar staff are exceptionally friendly and always happy to help you with your choice of poison, whether it be a delicious cocktail or one of the local beers they have on tap. There’s a big emphasis on supporting live music at Corridor, so throughout the week you’ll often find a local band performing in the band room upstairs. Whether you’re looking to spend a lazy afternoon in the sunshine drinking Bloody Marys, or you’re raring to have a wild night on the town dancing to a rock band, Corridor is the place to be.
What’s on the menu?
If you’re looking to spend an evening somewhere that you can wash down a $10 pizza with the perfect martini, Corridor is the place for you. The food menu is a combination of mezze-style grazing plates and affordable yet delicious pizza, nachos and burgers. Whether you’re on a date and looking to impress or just keen for laid-back drinks with friends, there’s something for everyone.
Care for a drink?
Corridor boasts a very impressive cocktail list. Whether it be one of Corridor’s signature cocktails or a well loved classic, the bartenders are exceptionally trained and always make a mean drink. There’s a large assortment of spirits to be tasted, including a few local gems, and they always know how to serve it to you just right. Make sure to try an Old Fashioned made with their house-infused banana rum.
Sounds:
Depending on the mood of the bartender on any given day, you might be listening to grunge rock, old-school hip hop or ’60s classics. The one thing that is consistent is that the vibe is always upbeat and fun. When the bartenders aren’t playing their own playlists, live music fills the space with ambience (and a lively crowd!).
Highlights:
Happy hour is from 5-7pm, Monday to Friday. This means $5 pints of beer and $10 cocktails!
