Holey Moley Newtown

Step into Earl’s Juke Joint, where dive-bar cool meets New Orleans charm. With a trophy cabinet full of accolades—including Time Out Sydney’s Best New Bar (2014), Bar of the Year (2015), Best Bar Team (2016 and 2020), and Boothby’s All Time Great NSW Bar (2024)—it’s clear Earl’s has earned its place as an institution. Add to that its consistent presence in the SMH Good Food Guide’s 20 Best Bars and other “best of” lists since opening, and you know you’re in for a top-tier experience. Their Happy Hour, Earl’s Style hits the sweet spot:

Earls Juke Joint

$15 Cocktails

Live gigs, cocktails and tap beers in a small, dimly lit joint praising rock 'n' roll and blues.

The Midnight Special 

15 Classic Cocktails

This local institution features a Locals Bar, Cocktail Bar and Rooftop. The Townie crew are staunch supporters of original live music and make it clear they are not interested in DJ's or cover bands. There are late gigs every Friday and Saturday night. Don Rodneys Food Truck serves lunch from Thursday to Sunday and Dinner 7 nights. The botte shop adjoining the venue is worth a mention too with a great selection of booze including craft beers and decent wines at very reasonable prices. All roads lead to the townie!
