Whether you prefer a snifter of port, or to wet your whistle with a nice cold beer, there are plenty of places in Parramatta for a beverage. Alcohol, like all things should be taken in moderation, and a culture of binge drinking should certainly give many pause for thought before partaking. For those drinking responsibly a favourite local drinking spot is like a favourite restaurant or coffee spot, well frequented and one with which you are fiercely loyal. We’ve compiled a list of our seven favourites, but it’s up to you to crown the greatest drinking hole. See our list and vote below!
Nick & Nora’s
Head to the luxe 26-storey cocktail bar on Macquarie St and browse the extensive drinks menu, helpfully divided into tastes. Whether you’re mad for martinis, prefer a champagne cocktail or after a fruity fix, the savvy bartenders have something for all tastes.
Butter
If you like your champagne with a side of fried chicken and maybe a sneaker purchase as well, Butter is the place for you. Sip on a glass of bubbly or a beer or try one of their alcoholic slushies while tucking into a fried chicken, fries slathered in Nutella, or a hot cinnamon donut.
Riverside Brewing Company
Parramatta is lucky enough to have its very own craft brewery. Head to the cellar door on North Rocks Rd to sample Riverside’s range including seasonal releases straight from the source.
Uncle Kurt’s
The hidden gem that is Uncle Kurt’s is well loved by Parramatta locals for its Reuben sandwiches, creative cocktails and relaxed atmosphere. Tucked away beneath the carpark in Horwood Place, you’ll find this place buzzing most nights of the week.
The Albion
The Albion’s garden bar is the ideal spot to unwind with one of their signature cocktails or a glass of wine. There's live music on Fridays and Sundays and DJs on Saturdays for a lively atmosphere plus food specials from the bistro on weekdays.
Port Bar Restaurant
For a relaxing drink with river views head to the Port Bar Restaurant near the Parramatta ferry wharf. Grab one of their classic cocktails or a glass of wine and spend a lazy afternoon soaking up the sunshine.
The Meat & Wine Co
The name of this place probably gives it away — if you’re a wine drinker, here's where you want to go. The Meat & Wine Co’s wine list is so extensive that no matter what your preference you’ll find something to suit. Visit from 4pm-6pm on weeknights for $5 selected wines, beers and spirits.
