Story summary

Bar Demo, a newish 50-seater bar in Sydney's inner west, has been drawing attention with its eclectic mix of drinks and music. Located on Enmore Road, it offers a unique blend of Japanese jazz and British post-punk while serving an extensive menu of cocktails, including wildly inventive martinis garnished with blue cheese-stuffed olives or whole gilda (olive, anchovy, pickled pepper) snacks. The bar is also dog-friendly and features outdoor seating on the footpath. Though it keeps its snack offerings modest during regular hours, Bar Demo occasionally hosts chef takeovers for more elaborate dining experiences.
