Enjoy super delicious eats, killer cocktails and hip hop beats at Lucky Suzie on Stanley Street, Darlinghurst! Formerly Lazy Suzie, the popular Malaysian bar and restaurant has rebranded to Lucky Suzie, marking a new era for the Darlinghurst venue.
From the team behind Devon Cafe, Lucky Suzie is cheeky, flirty, and a little bit quirky. Serving up street eats and killer cocktails straight outta Penang, it’s the perfect place to get floozy with Suzie. Lucky Suzie mixes classic street snacks, hawker food, and charcoal dishes with native Australian produce for a fresh take on Malaysian cuisine. Cocktails get an Asian twist with inspiration drawn from Kopitiam coffee houses and Malaysian flavours.
Opening in March under their original trading name of Lazy Suzie, owners Derek Puah and Noni Widjaja and owner and executive chef Zacharay Tan were informed of a potential trademark conflict.“We were sent a legal notice indicating we were infringing on the trademark of Lazy Susan’s Comedy Den in Perth. We didn’t want to wear the expense of going to court, so we decided to change the name to Lucky Suzie,” says Puah.
“Lucky Suzie also seems more appropriate to the fun vibe we are trying to create,” adds chef Tan. “We wanted to bring our focus back to vibrant, bar-style dining and re-emphasise Malaysian street food.”
To usher in the new, favourable name, Lucky Suzie has introduced ‘Lucky Hour’ from 5pm-7pm; with select cocktails for only $10 and a range of beers and wines for only $7. Lucky Suzie has also launched a new menu, which emphasises local, seasonal produce. The fresh, bar-style dishes include crispy-fried quail, Aunty Yulia’s beef rendang, pork belly satay and pandan custard spiced layer cake, with ingredients sourced from ethical and sustainably focused suppliers.
Stars on the menu for me include the spring roll with lobster thermidor and yuzu mayo, Bao Wow belacan fried chicken with fragrant herbs and the raw hiramasa kingfish that is served with torch ginger flower, coconut, yam bean- it literally melts in your mouth! Cocktail must- tries include Rama-rama spritz: tanqueray gin, Citrus, Blue-Pea Flower + Jasmine, Dandelion & Burdock Bitters and Penang blazer: Macadamia, Banana Leaf, Burlesque Bitters, Peychaud’s Bitters (served hot)- the perfect, warming end to a meal!
The venue’s décor and interior provides an informal and relaxed vibe, with local street artists invited to create artwork on the walls, changing every few months. Lucky Suzie will also draw on its new fortuitous namesake, with a luck-themed menus and menu items. The staff at Lucky Suzie are amazing! The team provide great service, are fun and informative and really generate a great vibe!
So, for great service, an awesome atmosphere, delicious eats, killer cocktails and hip hop beats, get lucky at Lucky Suzie!
