I am not really one for midweek drinking (as previously documented) but the idea is growing on me. Unlike the the weekend you can actually go to bars and not spend half your evening in a queue (either lining up to get into a bar or lining up to get a drink from a bar). Barrafina is a relaxed tapas bar located on 2 Bligh St and a short walk from Circular Quay or Martin Place.
We arrived and were seated alfresco on a Wednesday night on the quiet corner where the bar is situated. It was very pleasant sitting outside especially to take advantage of their secret (not-so-secret) happy hour. Hint for you guys before you go: go to their website and print out the page which says 50% off all tapas on Wednesday because this is not readily apparent when you are seated there.
*Prices listed are full price prior to 50% discount
Not so much a slider as a full blown sandwich.
Awesome. Saltiness offset nicely by the avocado mousse and chipotle mayo on a soft brioche bun.
Clean delicate delicious
Meltingly soft and unctuous
A very impressive looking grazing plate but did not really do it for me.
Carbalicious. Could be a little crispier but no complaints.
All up a few drinks and a range of tasty dishes that came up to $30 a head (incl. tip) after the 50% off applied.
Not a bad way to get over the Wednesday blues.
