Ouzo Bar & Dining

Ouzo Bar & Dining, located at 259 Victoria Street in Darlinghurst, offers a vibrant Mediterranean dining experience inspired by travels through Greece, Spain, France, and Italy. The ground-floor bar features a blend of alfresco, booth, and bar seating, complemented by an 80-bottle wine list and an extensive cocktail menu, including five types of martinis. The upstairs dining room, illuminated by natural light from skylights and an adjustable roof, provides a perfect setting for both long lunches and late dinners. Chef Ignacio Morales crafts a Mediterranean menu with woodfire-cooked dishes like slow-cooked lamb shoulder, taramasalata with warm pita bread, burrata, and wagyu sirloin. The venue also hosts weekly specials, including a $49 steak and wine menu on Wednesdays and a $45 pasta night on Thursdays. Happy hour runs from 4 pm to 6 pm, Tuesday to Friday, offering half-price bar snacks, $10 mini martinis, and $6 house beer and wine. Reservations are available for the dining room, while the bar accommodates both bookings and walk-ins. Operating hours are Wednesday to Friday from 4 pm until late, Saturday and Sunday from 11 am until late, and Tuesday from 4 pm until late.
