Excellent food. Relaxed atmosphere and great service. A real hidden gem amongst all the eatiries along the road. Well worth making a b line to it. Good for social gatherings or if you want to impress a client. You will not be disappointed. Best tacos in town!!!!
Cool vibe with a cosy feel about it. Great staff and the food doesn't disappoint.
Suits having a drink while having a meeting, or casual layback drink with friends.
Small bar fits perfectly into Cruisey Crows Nest
Had a function here in the outdoor courtyard. Staff were amazing and it was very organized and communication leading up to the event was great. Everyone had a great time and we've been back numerous times, love this place!!
Truly excellent at lunch/drifting into the afternoon on a sunny winter day. Amazing wines with friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff, combined with a great ambience. The selection for dining was fun and done well!!!
A great neighbourhood spot for breakfast. One of the best freshly squeezed OJs you can find in the lower north shore. Service is always friendly and the hash browns always hit the spot.

It was a rainy afternoon and it was really amazing to find this cozy nook . We had the Saturday special , a platter to share with a bottle of red . It came with a portion of beef sliders- AMAZING with the maple mayo and pickles , fish tacos with mango salsa - DELICIOUS But just a bite size portion ( I sad 😭) , corn chips with Guacamole - I LOVE AVO and the olives - Not yum ( a bit tough). We also had the lamb skewers which were juicy and delish ! The wine 🍷 accompanied the food well. Looooooove the ambience (byooootifoooool) . Service was splendid ! Thumbs up 👍
I recently came here to celebrate the momentous first birthday party of mini-Aunt T. Small Bar seems to be the go-to place for special occasions for MSG Cafeteria due to its convenient and central location so I thought I'd use this opportunity to document and share the food experience. Located along Willoughby Street (i.e. main food street) in Crows Nest, Small Bar faces some intense competition in the food stakes. There is limited seating outside the main entrance and along the long aisle towards the courtyard around the back, however the courtyard space is big enough to accommodate 40+ people.
Great cafe! Amazing food and customer service. The pizzas are delicious! We also enjoyed the hoisin duck and calamari. We went with 7 adults and two young children and they were very accommodating of us and even made room for our pram. We'll be back for sure.
A favourite spot for wine and food, but recently also went here for breakfast and it was fantastic. Had the green brekkie which was delicious. The courtyard out the back is a great space for both morning and night. Would definitely recommend!
Typically a great bar for dinner and drinks, one Sunday morning I decided to try Small Bar's breakfast menu - we were almost the only table there so the service was quick! The green machine sounds ideal but I opted for a different healthy option; the quinoa porridge. Topped with coconut and banana it was really warming, sweet and well priced. I'm hoping that the Acai bowl will be great come summer.
Another one of the Sydney girls is leaving to head overseas sniffle. A leaving party was in order. We meet at Small Bar and settle into the dark surrounds, with extremely warm aircon inside and heat lamps for the prettily lit outside area. The level of noise is quite high, as you would expect from a packed bar on a Saturday night. The wines are fairly reasonably priced and I wished we had tried out the 2009 Hunter Valley Bogan Chardonnay ($6.50 a glass, $29 bottle). Next to our table in the inside section were a few antique mirrors hanging on the wall and a little bookshelf with interesting objects perched on top, that wasn't trying too hard like a lot of other small bars of the moment. The girls ordered some Cabernet Sauvignon, which after being at the Good Food and Wine Show all day was quite hard to drink, especially with me over analysing the glass (after the Riedel wine glass tasting event I attended). Yes, I've become a little bit more of a wine snob, uh oh. But I'm being unfair,
Fantastic friendly staff, nice bar food menu and pleasant atmosphere on a sat/sun arvo. Staff were more than willing to accommodate my stroller.
A lovely bar with great food and atmosphere. There’s a area further in the bar that requires booking because it has beautiful lights. Great place for dates and friends gathering
Drinks were yummy, really nice vibe but the food was meh. We got the pulled pork burgers and duck pancakes and the sauce was really sweet on them and overpowering. Arrenchini balls were nice though.
Ambiance: 4/5 (garden area is good)
Food: 4/5
Beer selection: 3.5/5
Service 4.5/5
Will dine again - Yes
Gorgeous restaurant with delicious food. Perfect for any occasion. Highly recommended. 🙏🏻
Great food, Great service, Great cocktails! Small bar in Crows Nest ticks all the boxes. As a coeliac I feel so safe eating here and all of the staff are more than happy to talk me through the menu and answer all my allergen questions. The atmosphere is just simply fantastic and cozy, they offer 3 different sections, but out the back under the fairy lights is my favourite place to sit and sip.
What a great place little find. The small bar is the perfect place to catch up with finds, to have a drink or sit down for a meal. Nice courtyard out the back covered with grape vines and fairy lights. You can reserve tables so you need to get in quick for busy nights (Fri & Sat). Food is also great. Highly recommend the Tacos and truffle fries. Definitely will be back.
This is my favourite bar in Sydney! I go nearly every week (pre lockdown) and can't wait for it to reopen! A massive thank you for helping me celebrate my boyfriends birthday last night with the lockdown taco and margarita delivery, he had a wonderful night! 11/10 recommend this place for amazing food, cocktails and wonderful staff!
