• Cocktail Bar • The Rocks
Booked 3 times today
Frank Mac's. Gin & Cocktail Bar The original 1840s sandstone walls of the building Frank Mac’s now occupies a 120-person capacity bar which flows from outdoor seating on George Street, across two levels and into a back courtyard. Whereas the downstairs space feels cosy and intimate, dotted with vintage leather banquettes, dark jade and light orange velvet armchairs, low tables and a fireplace, the ground level you’ll walk into off George Street will reflect the energy of the bartenders working behind the almost five-metre-long oak bar. A handful of bar stools provide the perfect vantage point to take in the cocktail mixology while the dark velvet curtains, worn leather banquette seats and cosy fireplace of the ‘Snug’ provides groups of up to eight with a private space to retreat and relax.

    Food was good. Overall very noisy restaurant but that’s just us. Service was lovely. We felt things were a bit untidy, olives served with no way of picking them up, the fork just bounced them all over the place, the waitress kindly brought some toothpicks (wooden cocktail sticks), these were fine. Main course took a bit too long to arrive.

    Early dinner for three. Food was delicious. Ordered 12 oysters. Received (and charged for) 6. No problem.The three entrees ordered were intelligently served to table one at a time. Brilliant. Followed too quickly by mains - all 7 plates attempted to be squished onto our table about an hour after being seated! Tall wait woman delivering food clearly annoyed when asked to leave 2 pastas and return other 4 plates to kitchen so we could actually enjoy hot food, and not be rushed out of our seats. Her attitude dampened an otherwise lovely evening

    This place is a MUST!! Both the food and service were outstanding. Our waiter Marco was great. Made some great recommendations and added a little fun to our experience. We had a great variety of food. Definitely need to try the lamb skewers! The mushroom truffle was delicious. It was like a quiche which surprised me but great!! The roasted potatoes were nice and crispy and the cheese with honey and walnuts was perfectly paired with crusty bread. We would definitely go back!
