The rooftop bar is a nice touch but the place is so busy that the service lacks. The food is good and the prices are good too, they just need to employ more staff i think.

A great bar in Newtown with a great rooftop bar. I went on Friday and even that close to Christmas and very busy there was still a lot of seating which was great. Good service and the food also tastes amazing. Would highly recommend for a birthday party or catch up with friends

We tried the ZanziBar's new Tapas Menu last week and over i'd say it was pretty good. We got a Spreet deal where we got 6 tapas plates and a glass of house beer or wine each, as i'm not drinking the staff upgraded my hubbies beer to a fancy one which he was very happy with.

The food was all good, not amazing or anything to shout from the rooftops about but good simple food done well.

I love the atmosphere at Zanzibar, the roof top bar is lovely on warm evening and even on cooler ones as they have so many heaters. Inside is sortof rustic Spanish look which is different compared to other places in Newtown.

Friday Saturday nights get a bit wild but are great for a big night out, midweek its lovely, rarely too busy and the staff are all really just so nice

Right in the heart of Newtown close to the Train station.
Great place for drinks at night. In summer its nice to go to the roof top bar for a few drinks.

I'm not a fan of this place, I try to avoid I at all costs when in Newtown but always end up there for some reason. The bouncers are crazy rude, they let way too many people in and the place just gets so packed you can't move. I don't like the set up of this bar it just adds to the frustration. I find the drinks expensive here too.

Walk in to the bottom level & its nothing special, just a plain pub. Move to level two & it gets better, a really nice & comfy lounge bar. Hit the rooftop & you feel like you at a riad in morocco, it was in winter when i visited but i can't wait to have a beer in the sun during summer

excellent food, i had the pizza and the seafood plate, all freshly prepared and presented really nice, with friendly staff-in a classy part of inner Sydney-Newtown!

I've been here for a function, and also for some drinks with a friend. It has a nice atmosphere, but can get a little noisy on weekends so don't go if you want to have a long conversation with someone! They serve food too, but I've never had it.

This is a good place to go for some drinks with friends. You can get great mediteranian food on the rooftop which is really nice. They also make some excellent cocktails at this trendy pub.
