Fire, wood and charcoal are at the heart of Poetica Bar & Grill, a refined and relaxed modern Sydney bar and grill in the heart of North Sydney. We opened our doors to rave reviews in early September 2023 and received One Hat from the Good Food Guide in our first few weeks. Along one side of the 120‑seat light‑filled restaurant is an impressive 700‑bottle wine wall, glass‑fronted dry‑ageing cabinets, and a 15‑metre‑long open kitchen featuring a Josper charcoal oven and custom wood‑burning hearth.
