Bar Of The Week: The Little Guy

The Little Guy is a hole-in-the-wall neighbourhood bar in the heart of Glebe that is a whole lot bigger than its name would suggest. With free popcorn, the best small bar trivia in Sydney, live music on Thursdays and Sundays as well as on special events, giant Jenga, drink specials throughout the week and a huge back bar, there is always something happening at The Little Guy, even if it is just great beers and banter or cracking good times all round.

What’s on the menu?

Free popcorn! A huge range of great Australian and NZ craft beers, a small but punchy wine list, an impressive back bar and a rotating, original cocktail menu or any made-to-order concoction that your heart may desire, plus mulled wine for winter. We also provide small meat and cheese share plates, and the pizza next door and the Vietnamese down the road deliver straight to your bar stool!

Sounds:

We put on a range of different stuff, from blues to folk to solo singer-songwriters, with live music every Thursday and Sunday and bands for special events like tap takeovers or art shows. Other than the live tunes, there will always be something great playing that breathes and morphs with the mood and feeling of the bar.

Highlights:

A great vibe and a place that feels like home with friendly faces and friendly service. The warmest bar in the Inner West. The front bar is where it is at, where you can be sure to get wrapped up in conversation with strangers (even if that stranger may be the bartender). If talkin’ ain’t yo thang then there are two large back rooms or a small space upstairs where you can sip in solitude and relative privacy or canoodle on the couch with a hot date. There’s also some of the best free live music in Sydney with bands like The Sweet Jelly Rolls and The Button Collective and soloists like Stephanie Grace and G.C. O’Connor crooning from under the stairs. The Little Guy is like a home away from home full of interesting strangers, great booze, and did we mention free popcorn that didn’t come out of a microwave?

The bill comes to:

A pizza from next door and a pint of beer won’t set you back over $30, and we will even throw in all you can eat popcorn.
