F&L News: Oscar Gorosito introduces a new dining experience at the Bridge St Garage Bar & Deli in Sydney's CBD

In the venue’s biggest update since it opened its doors in August 2013, the Bridge St Garage Bar and Diner in Sydney’s CBD has just launched a brand new, fully equipped second bar and deli at the back of the diner. Opening up to the public earlier this month on June 9th, the new Bridge St Garage Bar & Deli is another of Oscar Gorosito’s unique dining concepts, bringing together the New York deli scene with Argentinian flavour and flair.

The bar is designed to offer a casual drinking and dining experience, bringing together an extensive cocktail and craft beer menu, with a menu exclusive to the deli, paying homage to a classic New York assortment of braised and cured meats, briskets, cheeses – with Argentinian spice bringing us some original flavour.

Patrons can enter the bar from Bridge Lane and are immediately greeted to a warm and comfortable aesthetic; a handmade Australian hardwood bar counter, customised mechanic tool beer fonts, exposed brick backing and recycled railway sleeper framework that leads onto a stainless steel counter top for the Deli.

Head Chef Oscar Gorosito’s in-house cured meats are housed in a bespoke glass casing to help guests select from a season-savvy menu. An American sports bar vibe under-rides the deli and bar area, with two 50” televisions showcasing the latest American sports series, while fresh, upbeat tunes cement a lively atmosphere for fans and friends alike.

The deli menu will change weekly, ensuring the freshest produce is served. A chalk board full of must–try dishes will be on display. We’re being promised delicious melt-in-your-mouth briskets and slow cooked meats (and having tasted some of them, they’re worth the trip).

Gorosito said of the new opening, “We’ve had such a great response to our front bar over the last year, that we wanted to extend on that vibe to create a holistic vibe throughout our restaurant. When designing the bar, our continued mix of north-meets-south American has been expressed with a New york-styled deli that incorporates curing and flavouring technique’s from South America, throughout classic New York deli dishes.”

The Bridge St Garage Bar & Deli is open now.
