Designed by architect George Livissianis, a long communal table of polished concrete runs the length of the main dining room, morphing into bar dining with its mega line-up of wine, sake, sochu, Japanese whisky and spirits. With so much solid surface, I’m told the design has a function of absorbing noise through all the holes in the walls and overhead beams.

I have come to really enjoy bar dining recently if there’s just two diners, which is the case today. The casual vibe and tunnel view of what everyone else is eating adds to the dining experience and there’s a certain feeling of camaraderie sitting next to each other.

Cocktail bar at Hotel Centennial, Woollahra. I can easily knock back a few drinks when a cocktail bar is so elegantly designed. It is among some of the more stylish bars around Sydney. Apart from the overhead display of wines, subtle down lighting, tasteful music from a quality sound system and stylish marble stone surfaces, here’s my definition of good bar space design ~ when you can pivot and swivel forearms on the counter top without knocking over beers and cocktails.
