Steel is the latest innovative and exciting project from renowned designer Michael McCann and the team behind Pony in The Rocks, which includes executive chef, Damien Heads. The restaurant and bar incorporates funky metal design with the use of subtle clever lighting and softeners around to create a terrifc ambience. Designed ‘New York’ style with a large outdoor seating area with a fantastic fireplace in the centre, it’s sure to be a great addition to Sydney’s CBD bar and restaurant scene.
The bar has an affordable sharing platters (all under $30 each) such as Mezze (hommus, fetta, olives, tzatziki etc), Sashimi, Charcuterie (terrine, rillettes, pate), Cured Meats (prosciutto, salami, bresaola) and Grilled meats (eye fillet, chipolatas, lamb chops, bacon). Not your usual bar food options, which is so refreshing to have something substantial after a few evening beverages, and not enough time for a dinner out.
You can say that it caters for all. Whether you’re looking for French sturgeon caviar ($230 for 50g) with a bottle of vintage champagne; a ice cold Kirin off the tap ($5) with a bowl of fries and a grill plate; a cheese selection with a bottle of wine; or desserts with a girlfriend and a cocktail in hand. The lounge is partially outdoors, proving to be the next favorite spot for smokers under the strict new smoking laws. Half of the tables are smoker friendly – that reason alone, if I was still a smoker, would make me a regular!
Look for the arrival of a new French elderflower liqueur with the first bottle delivered September 15 to Steel Bar and Grill - St-Germain elderflower liqueur is crafted from handpicked elderflowers and is a welcome introduction to the Australian bar scene, as it is the world’s only elderflower liqueur, served in an amazing Vanilla and Elderflower Martini.
(weekday lunch – quick bar food menu: Grilled Salmon, celery and apple salad, sauce gribiche; Angus Hamburger, bacon, gruyere, coleslaw, chips)
Open Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Drinks til midnight. (Bar menu served all day)
Find me serving you three nights a week – in a very modest uniform. No more revealing Japanese mini silk dresses… the more you wear, the less they tip. Sad but true.
That place looks awesome, and reasonably priced for the decor. I’d visit if I was in the area.
French Sturgeon. wth?
hmm… is this in Sydney Australia? There is a Steel in Dallas, TX and I think in Atlanta now. I know the owners behind those but I didn’t know it was a chain or franchise?
O M G! I totally dig the decor! *takes notes for future designs*
bacon!
the decor is fantastic!
@HoolaHoopsNCartwheels - I think the name is just a co-incidence. They’re not very original down here…
ANGUS = Ankle of the gus cow
Awesome decor! And now I’m hungry for that kind of food, after seeing the pictures.
