My favourite cafe in Marrickville is now open in the evenings for drinks with live music and#8211; how exciting! Yes, Marrickville is getting trendier by the second, but shhhhh donand#8217;t tell anyone, we want to keep it our little secret for now.
Marrickville Rd Cafe by day, and now Girl on a Swing Wine Bar by night (due to the painted mural on the wall, see pic above), is a popular local spot for good coffee, delicious food featuring locally sourced ingredients and friendly staff. The owners, Sacha and Jane, know most of their customers by name and vice versa. Itand#8217;s a great place to hang out and#8211; which Poppy and I do, several times a week!
Last week Poppy, hubby and I headed down to the launch party to take a few pictures and boogie to the live band playing jazz and funk.
The party was to celebrate that the cafe will now be open all day and into the evenings on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays (in addition to their regular Mon-Sun daytime hours). Theyand#8217;ll be serving alcoholic drinks (beer, wine, cocktails) and food (more on that in a minute) with live music until 10pm or so, depending on how many people rock up.
Itand#8217;s a fantastic idea because there arenand#8217;t many (according to me, any) good options for a drink before or after dinner in Marrickville and this cafe has a comfy outdoor seating area which is excellent for people watching. With quite a few new restaurants opening up, now is the perfect time for a cafe-slash-bar, at least thatand#8217;s what Sacha and Jane are hoping!
Sorry, I have been teasing you. You are really just reading this to find out about the food, arenand#8217;t you?
There will be an ever-changing array of small plates such as grilled halloumi with kalamata olives and their famous chunky chips with chorizo (see paper cone pic above), plus more substantial meals like a range of housemade fresh pasta (ravioli, pappardelle) and free range Tasmanian steak, served just how you like it.
Iand#8217;ll probably be down there quite often, so if you see me, please do say hello. Youand#8217;ll be sure to recognise Poppy, but if not, thereand#8217;s no way youand#8217;ll miss our bright pink pram!
Have you been? Iand#8217;d love to hear what you think!
