TWO 88 Bar & Kitchen Sydney — Art Deco Glamour on Sussex Street
Tucked into the ground level of Crowne Plaza Sydney Darling Harbour, TWO 88 Bar & Kitchen brings a slice of 1920s art deco glamour to Sussex Street. Golden trims, a turquoise glass bar and sculptural pendant lighting set the tone for an intimate wine and cocktail den that feels equally suited to a quiet catch-up or a full night out. It's the kind of room that rewards lingering, whether you've pulled up a stool at the bar or settled into a corner table.
The kitchen leans into local produce with a seasonal rotation of starters, mains and desserts, while the charcuterie and cheese program is a genuine drawcard, meats and cheeses sliced to order and sold by weight, best paired with something off the wine list. Cocktails take cues from native Australian botanicals, and the daily happy hour keeps things accessible with $11 regional wines and $14 margaritas between 3 and 6pm.
Come the weekend, TWO 88 shifts gears with a bottomless Saturday brunch that's built for groups. The 164 square metre space also does double duty as an event venue, hosting up to 50 guests for birthdays, engagements and corporate celebrations against that same art deco backdrop.
