The room
Sophisticated, never stuffy.
Deep petrol walls, brass pendants and little gold lamps on every table. The Brooklyn is the kind of place that works for a quick glass at the bar after work and just as well for a long, unhurried dinner.
“What I particularly loved was that it felt just as appropriate to sit down for a quiet drink by yourself as it would for a proper dinner or a night out with friends.”

From the kitchen
Tapas for the table, built to share.
Order a few plates, then a few more. There are plenty of share plates for vegetarians too, and guests single out the gnocchi with blue cheese sauce.
Steaks, plated with care
Steak, plated with care and a little flair. On Thursdays the steak is the whole point: it's Steak Night.
Something light
Fresh, delicate plates to start the table off, served under the glow of the brass lamps.

The bar
Wine, cocktails and a cold pint.
A back wall of bottles, cocktails shaken to order and a cold pint when that's what the night calls for. One reviewer called the cocktails “to die for”.

“This restaurant is AMAZING.
My parents were visiting from Dubai for weeks, and we went to so many restaurants across Sydney, Brisbane and the Gold Coast - and this one by far had the best food and vibe. The crispy potatoes and the cocktails were to die for!! The ambiance is so moody and fabulous, so it would make a really nice date night spot or a celebration dinner. I can’t wait to come back, I still think about those potatoes.”
“The Brooklyn absolutely exceeded my expectations.
I came in on my own for a drink and a small bite, and ended up having one of those unexpectedly fantastic dining experiences. The atmosphere is exactly my kind of place intimate, sophisticated without feeling pretentious, and incredibly welcoming. The food was excellent, the drinks were beautifully done, and the service was attentive and genuinely friendly without ever feeling overbearing.”
“Absolutely loved my experience at The Brooklyn Wine + Tapas.
The food was outstanding – fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavour. The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly, making the whole evening feel relaxed and welcoming. The atmosphere is stylish yet cosy, perfect for both a casual night out and a special occasion. Highly recommend this place – I’ll definitely be coming back!”
