Black Penny - Redfern

This is a local for me and I'm in there often after work, generally sipping a nice pinot while I work on my blog. The staff are ALWAYS friendly and will strike up a conversation with you as soon as you walk in. It's laid back and funky and right on the edge of Surry Hills. I'm a big fan and hope you will be too!

We came here for a pre dinner drink and snack. The staff are very cool add casual and the share plates are great. We had the cheese plate for $18 and it had 2/4 cheeses and condiments. Will be back!

We stayed just around the corner from this small cafe/bar. Excellent breakfast selection & great coffee!! Staff very friendly & fun!! So good we went back next morning!! Lots of locals popping in for takeout coffees & muffins.

Dropped by the Black Penny which is apparently a small bar, restaurant, gallery and live entertainment venue all wrapped up in one, we just had breakfast and coffee which were both outstanding, while we listened to an eclectic mix of 60's and 70's popular music. Our thanks to the owner for his excellent choice in music.

Great wine and tapas in Redfern, great for people watching and action on the bike path. They also have an occasional art gallery. Staff very friendly and there is a happy hour from 5pm - 6pm.
