Location spotlight: Surry Hills

Once the scruffy home to Sydney’s rag trade and a former local haunt for nefarious folk, Surry Hills is now Sydney’s buzziest and most happening burb.

Hop along Crown and Bourke or hit the monthly markets for some seriously cool vintage. Surry Hills is a virtual urban foodcourt brimming with Sydney’s most innovative chefs – including Nel and those rockabilly Porteño boys… From absinthe to big bold reds, Surry Hills has got you covered. In fact, so transformed has this steep little slice of Sydney been that some are wondering whether it’s lost its rougher charms.
