Timbah

Top choice in Newtown & the Inner West


Quite a way down Glebe Point Rd is an excellent independent bottle shop; turn right to find the convivial wine bar it runs downstairs. Staff will happily talk you through the select wine list, and operate a 'democracy in a bottle' system, where patrons pick the wine offered by the glass. Tapas-style food features Australian native flavours and home-grown herbs.
