Presented by the highly acclaimed hospitality group, Tilley & Wills, the recently inaugurated Mexican-inspired bar and eatery, Four Hundred Bar & Kitchen, is poised to infuse energy and excitement into the North Sydney CBD.
Drawing inspiration from the ancient Aztec tale of The 400 Drunken Rabbit Gods, Four Hundred pays homage to these mischievous rabbits that indulged in Pulque (the precursor to tequila), leading to the emergence of their distinct drinking personalities. Embracing all 400 drinking personas, the venue encourages everyone to embrace a playful spirit with the motto, “Come one rabbit, come all rabbits, at Four Hundred.”
Mirroring the spirited rabbits, patrons are encouraged to unwind while exploring an exotic array of premium tequilas and cocktails. Establishing itself as the go-to margarita destination in North Sydney, Tilley and Wills have formed an exciting collaboration with Sesión Tequila, founded by Australian entrepreneurs Jennifer Hawkins, Jake Wall, and Tim Freeburn. Guests can indulge in classic or spicy margaritas, followed by a refreshing Mayahuel cocktail, named after the revered goddess of Agave. This concoction, featuring Sesión Blanco Tequila, Mezcal, Aperol, passionfruit, lemon, agave, and egg white, promises an enticing and refreshing sour-style libation.
For those seeking a mischievous adventure, Four Hundred’s Bottomless Lunch, launched in partnership with Sesión Tequila, offers two hours of flowing margaritas, mimosas, wines, and beers every Saturday at $89 per person. It’s the perfect way to revel in the festive season and unleash your inner rabbit.
On the culinary front, anticipate bold Mexican flavors intertwined with creative interpretations of Peruvian, Spanish, Argentine, and Cuban influences. Described as a “playful approach to Mexican-inspired food for an Australian palate,” the menu, crafted by Tilley & Wills Group Executive Chef Brad Sloane (NSW Australian Hotels Association Chef of the Year), features fresh local seafood, regional classics, street food, and shareable plates.
For those on the go, individual plates like the succulent Hanger Steak, Ancho Spatchcock, and Pescado & Papas (a playful take on fish and chips) are sure to satisfy. However, for a more adventurous lunch, dive into irresistible sandwiches like the Mojo Cubana, loaded with BBQ pork neck and double-smoked ham Swiss cheese.
For evening outings, an array of shareable plates, including the delectable Snapper Aguachile, promises to elevate the experience. Crowd favorites such as an array of tantalizing tacos are best enjoyed alongside daring margarita sessions, making them a must-have for group settings.
Four Hundred operates and holds a license from Monday to Saturday, starting at 11:30 am until late. Situated on Greenwood Plaza Rooftop, 36 Blue Street, North Sydney., Sydney residents can secure a reservation through the website or opt for a spontaneous walk-in to savor the next big thing.
