Sydneysiders escape inner city hustle at heritage listed Bar Cleveland on Cleveland Street in Surry Hills. Step inside and be transported to yesteryear with worn timber floorboards and comfy leather couches inviting diners to linger over a beer or glass of wine and contemplate a Mod Oz menu full of pub classics. Established as an hotel in 1912, the Cleveland has evolved into one of Sydney’s most popular dining spots with its relaxed vibe and punchy fare, ranging from nibbles such as crumbed jalapeno poppers wrapped in prosciutto to twice cooked crushed Sebago potatoes with chipotle aioli. Those with more hearty appetites can tuck into beef cheek, onion and stout pie, served with smashed peas, feta and mash, or perhaps a slow roasted sriracha pork burger with pineapple and butter lettuce.
