Bar Hugo Vermouth & Wine

Best Known For

Small plates designed for sharing.

Bar Hugo on Hardgrave Road is a cool wine and vermouth bar in the heart of West End. A moody vibe of polished wood tables, floors and walls awaits, with stools lined up at the well-stocked bar for those who want to chat with the mixologists while imbibing an artisanal vermouth or cheeky cocktail. Perhaps pair a White Negroni with small grazing plates of sardines, tomato sauce, chilli and parsley, or assorted pickles, seeded mustard and toasted sourdough; the house Martini is simply irresistible, snag a glass to go with pork belly skewers, or tuna, piquillo, capers and sherry vinegar, on a toasted baguette. A tidy wine list ticks most boxes, available by the glass and bottle with boutique Australian producers alongside European and New Zealand drops.
