Untied - Barangaroo

Return visit and as good as the first. The vibe was post-work, beginning of the weekend, but then it was 5pm on a Friday. Lots of energy, good young DJ playing a good mix of background music. Fast service for a busy bar, nice to be outside looking at the sunset. Food/bar snacks very good too. If I had to be picky, the second round of cocktails were the same order but not the same quality. The first round was exceptional and identical to our previous visit, the second not so.

So for a weekly catchup between two best friends, we decided to head over to Untied in the newly occupied Barangaroo reserve here in Sydney. Now we were up against HORRID weather - it was weirdly cold and humid and we were sweating in the coolness. In the concrete jungle that is this place, it was a refreshing rooftop change. In saying this however the view is definitely not fabulous due to the under-way constructions right in front of it *sigh*. Nonetheless, we still enjoyed it. Here is my run down:Food: 7/10Just a little off because the salad with the prawns was a little salty, and well.. and the calamari taco we ordered was a tiny bit dry and the sauce outshone the flavours.The menu:7/10For the drinks alone it is a 100% 10/10 - the food menu being so small did pull it back for me. There wasn't all thus much variety in terms of the food.Ambiance: 8.5/10Loved the vibe but space is certainly an issue. It's not very large, so often you aren't able to get a table.Service: 10/10The waitstaff were amazing.Overall score: 8/10 Is it worth the trip - I think so. Should you eat? I reckon stick to the drinks here, and order some sides to go with that

Location is ok, but for what you pay it's far from worth it. Fried food, weak cocktails, should have saved my money. Not recommended

Barangaroo has limited bar options, so nice to see this one added. Outdoor seating, works well on a nice evening, not sure about a windy winters night. Good selection of wines. Would have been nice for table service, you order from the bar and then need to take everything back to your table

Only been open for a short while but busy already. We went on a rainy afternoon which wasn't ideal for a roof top bar but they have plenty of undercover seating so it wasn't a problem. Very attentive staff who were good fun. Will certainly go back!
