The Corner House

Cocktail Bars

First published on 6 May 2010. Updated on 7 Apr 2012.

This chic restaurant-cum-bar occuies a building that was formerly home to great pizza and pasta joint, Old Castile. It has commanded the corner of Denham Street and Bondi Road for a couple of years now and to the delight of South Bondi residents and visitors alike, the Corner House shows no sign of losing its charm, friendly atmosphere and service. When you get there, freshen up with a Venetian Spritzer (is it Bondi’s tipple of 2012 we wonder?) or a Bulldog gin and tonic and then settle into a bottle of the 2007 Luigi Bosca Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon from Mendoza Argentina. Try chef Brent Mills’ morsels, including the Marsala chicken liver pâté or the cheese plate for dessert. The Corner House is also a good spot to start before hitting the Rum Diaries or the Flying Squirrel Tapas Emporium just around the corner in what is one of Sydney’s best bar 'hoods.
