Vasco - Redfern

Vasco saved the day a few weeks ago after we’d eaten a terrible meal at a once awesome Surry Hills wine bar. They make delicious fresh gnocchi daily and you can definitely tell. The best part is that your typical Eastern Suburbs show pony doesn’t hang out here. It’s definitely for locals which make me love it all the more

The gnocchi is legit! Great cocktails and vibe, awesome music. Lovely little neighbourhood joint! I love the garlic prawns : : : ........oh and they do Gluten Free gnocchi too

We entered the bar 15 minutes before it was about to close. The bouncer let us in. Nice cocktails, decor, great metal/rock and didn 't have any of that long bearded hipster s hit 'crafty ' looking do uche crowd. Our bartender was this long haired sweaty mofo who made some kick ass cocktails. The bald bartender seemed angry and tired. But overall a good place to be. Only bad part EXPENSIVE! 38 dollars for 2 whisky sours. Come on!

Food: The bowls of gnocchi were warming and comforting. Went pretty traditional and tried the Bosciola and beef ragu, bosciola was my favorite. Chunks of delicious smoked speck abc perfectly cooked mushrooms. Cocktails were great, well balanced and inventive. Decor/ambiance: The music is loud, patrons are there for a good time. Don't come here if your looking for deep conversation or romance. Love the rock and roll memorabilia on the walls, plenty to look at. Service : Can be slow at times as the barmen are making cocktails and taking food orders in between. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time.

I think Vasco Bar in Surry Hills should be renamed- Good Times Bar. Actually, that’s a pretty **** name for a bar so let’s stick with Vasco but let it be known that this is a bar where good times roll. Behind the spirit and vibrato of this small bar with big energy is Max Greco. You may remember him from Eau De Vie in Darlinghurst where he was shaking and stirring (even door bitching) for a number of years. Towards the end of 2012 Greco traded in his bow-tie and suspenders, rolled up his sleeves flashing his tattoo covered arms and opened his dream bar.
