Stitch Bar- York St

Don’t be tricked into walking into ‘Stitch’ with your pants to be hemmed and jackets to be tailored… As this Sydney ‘tailor’ is not just what meets the eye…


Hide and Seek
Hidden next to the Cup Cake shop on York St. Sydney, at street level you’ll walk into a ‘shop’ entrance to find sewing machines, balls of yarn, shirts hanging on a rod…


However, keep on walking, through the corridor, and down the stairs, to be greeted with a funky underground bar and restaurant. Dimly lit with candles and lanterns, and an exotic and erotic ambience is instantly created. You’ll be warmly greeted by staff, who will eagerly assist as you make your decision as to where to set up camp for the evening. There are small barrel tables for the smaller groups, booths, and even underground caves where you and your fellow diners can sit on exotic cushions, teleporting you to a Middle Eastern oasis worlds away. 


Simon Food Favourites
If you choose to stay for just a Social.Aperitif, this Sydney bar is the perfect place to perch and satisfy your beverage and social needs. The bar itself is actually constructed form old sewing machines stacked on top of each. Looking around, you are surrounded by sewing paraphernalia-sewing machine covers dangle from above the back bar, thread rods and knitting needles- enough to spark the sewing bug in even the least sew-literate person.




Definitely put this one up there on your ‘Social.Aperitif’ list- it’s bound to impress all!
