Tucked away on Curtin Place and overlooking bustling Australia Square, Poco Local Wine Bar serves up Italian-inspired share plates, boutique wines, and cocktails in a cosy indoor-outdoor setting.
Sydney’s Poco has shifted gears, focusing on afternoon and evening trade with a menu designed for sharing (or not) and a drinks list made for discovery. Think creamy burrata, crispy zucchini flowers, and grilled octopus paired with local and Italian wines or a signature Negroni Sbagliato. Social Hour Monday to Friday from 4-6 pm means $8 house wines and beers, plus perfect bites to ease you into the evening.
