Bar Tag Season 2: Tom Dalzell, Chiswick

Bar Tag, Drink, Sydney / 16 August 2017

Last but certainly not least, Ms Darlinghurst pays a visit to Chiswick in the season finale of Bar Tag.

We’ve reached our final episode of Bar Tag Season 2! What an incredibly fun experience it has been. Season 2 has been absolutely jam packed with talent and a hefty dose of creative flare. From Tonka beans and kombucha to pork crackling and bonito flakes, we’ve seen some of Sydney’s top bartenders construct cocktails out of ingredients never before imagined on your typical bar list. But we still have one left for this season of Bar Tag and what better way to end our time than with a visit to Chiswick. Head barman Tom Dalzell was nominated to make a cocktail using Miss Peaches home made banana jam. Such an ingredient seems pretty tame in comparison to what we’ve seen in earlier episodes! The result is an incredibly easy-drinking concoction that Ms Darlinghurst herself remarked as one of her personal favourites from the series.
Watch all the action for yourself here:

Situated in the leafy suburban streets of Woollahra, Chiswick carries a strong paddock to plate ethos. As you take your seats in the sun drenched glasshouse, a lush vegetable garden laced with wild rose bushes functions as your backdrop. The menu itself encapsulates the share-style experience, profuse with contemporary Australian dishes like the signature lamb shoulder, whole wood-roasted John Dory and seasonal sides. With large communal tables and shaded outdoor seating, Chiswick makes the perfect spot for a quick bite or a drink, a special celebration or Sunday lunch with the family.
We hope we’ve introduced you to a few new bars to visit in Sydney. Stay tuned though as Alex and the team will no doubt be back soon with Season 3 very soon.
