The Village Launch Party, Potts Point
Potts Point bar and bistro The Village has been quietly operating for the last few months, after being refurbished from what used to be Favela Nightclub. Situated a skip away from The Cross on a nondescript corner of Kellet Way, the multi-level establishment officially kicked off its training wheels in style with a packed out party last Wednesday night. Fruity cocktails, canapes and fire-spinners drew a stylish crowd which at the peak of the night, stood shoulder-to-shoulder in both upstairs, downstairs and in the courtyard.
The new fit-out was little rustic-chic with blackboard menus, exposed brickwork, a touch of indoor foliage and dim overhead lighting. The menu is classic a gastro-pub fair with Italian influences, canapes on the night featured seared scallops with saffron risotto, figs with goats cheese and balsamic and prosciutto-wrapped asparagus, which were rounded out by miniature ice-cream cones by Gelatissimo later on in the night. The upstairs bar exuded a more relaxed vibe, featuring wall-to-wall lounges, candles on tables and a very photogenic tree of lights. Beautiful yet laid-back, we could imagine enjoying a cocktail (or few) here on any night of the week.
