Assembly Bar


It is a Friday night at 8pm and a "loyal companion" and we stroll from our usual Friday haunt at Bar 333 (don't ask why, it has sentimental value, again; don't ask why) to some new bar that my accountant friend invited us to where that age-old tradition of after work drinks were on. 

Despite the fact we are not really paying attention, this place is a bugger to find! It doesn’t seem that, on quiet Kent Street (at the Frasier Suites end), there are any signs of a hip and happening bar around. But upon seeing a group of well-dressed young corporate women having a classic "we don't normally smoke, but we'll bum puff on a Friday night after a few sly ones" cigarette in the middle of the sidewalk, we thought we'd investigate further. Seeing a narrow alley behind them, we follow the yellow brick road into this magical passage way (that actually leads to George Street!) and find the hidden treasure essentially behind Azuma!
The bar is quaint, with an outside area (that is inside the passage way) set up with turf on the walls, fairy lights and outside furniture. It gives the space this cool outside-but-inside vibe that works and would be an awesome place to chill at 5pm on a weekday with a glass of wine.
