Wine Bars and Restaurants in Glebe
Glebe has always been a melting pot of arts, culture and great food + wine, with Glebe Point Road bustling with people most nights. The last few years have seen a big reduction in the hubbub and businesses are really starting to feel it.
One of the best things about living in Glebe is being within walking distance of practically everything — including some incredible bars and restaurants. These are the businesses that have struggled the most with lockdowns and a decrease in foot traffic. This is your sign to get back out into your Neighborhood, and support your local operators!

An ode to the glamour of New York and Parisian brasseries, Becketts is a restaurant + piano lounge on Glebe Point Road, at the former Darling Mills site. Co-owner Wendy Beckett enlisted her set designer (Halycon Pratt) to help create the moody atmosphere synonymous with the bistros and cocktail bars of mid-century New York.
The menu, by Chef Jeff Schroeter is full of revived classics, and on the drinks front, an inventive cocktail list (including its own martini menu) sits alongside a 2 Goblet Award winning, 300+ wine list.
Must-try dish: Strawberry Foie — Seared foie gras, poached strawberries, barrel aged balsamic & micro shiso leaf
Must-try drink: The Chef's Martini — a riff on a classic that’s been given a modern twist, using Widges gin, Mancino Secco vermouth and olive brine.
