The Record Crate - GLEBE

There's nothing like a lunch that knocks onto the arvo when you've got some great company. There was some crazy weather on Sunday, but we hunkered on down with boutique beers and some pretty amazing home style food, considering the prices- definitely try the gumbo and the lamb shank. The butter chicken with corn chips looked really fun and I'd bet a million that the chef's Italian because the spaghetti and veal meatballs really hit the spot. If you want a venue to kill some hours with a mate or six, be fed, watered and flick through some vinyl, The Record Crate comes highly recommended.

MUSIC, OLD SKOOL RECORDS, DRINKS, FOOD. The Record Crate is located in Glebe and by chance, I drop by with some friends for a drink. When I was walking by on Glebe Point Rd, we walked by the Record Crate and I wasn't sure if it was a music store or a bar. When I saw a few people drinking; I figured it was potentially a mesh of the two.

Walter White cocktail is an absolute must try!! Great vibe, fantastic food friendly staff. Can't go wrong at this place we will be back for sure :

Booker T and the MGs is flooding the cosy courtyard of The Record Crate, where I’m surrounded by colourful randomness: Astroturf, beer keg tables, Hendrix posters, a hula hoop and a rather baffling chunk of concrete. This might be an echo of the bar’s hybrid nature – the Crate is actually a bar, restaurant, café, record shop and live music venue. The food is simple and generous, and owner Neville waves to me from the kitchen while making my Slow Roasted Pork Belly $20). The Crate isn’t designed to be a cocktail bar, and my Old Fashioned $16) isn’t impressive, so I stick to the tasty house brew: Uncle Joe’s Pale Ale $8), and then enjoy a glass of peppery shiraz from Two Thumbs $8). It feels like the bar is still working itself out, but the chilled atmosphere and excellent music mean that my one glass of wine has somehow turned into four, and I’m still happily ensconced in the courtyard hours later.

I felt like I was back in the 80's in London with all these records about. Came here for dinner got the chicken schnitzel burger it was very taste they did shoestring fries which were perfect. They also have an upstairs section for stand up comedy.
