Technology Park Hotel Alexandria
Just the spot for a boozy, end-of-day catch-up, this hip inner-west local is stylish on the surface but possesses old-fashioned warmth at its core. The wide, white-walled, open-plan interiors take on a minimalist style where form and function come together seamlessly and art deco touches contrast with comfy black couches and open windows looking out onto the park (not to mention an upstairs balcony).
On the food front, this old dame of a pub kicks it up a notch with a menu that's as diverse as it is modern. There are plenty of organic options for the health- and eco-conscious, while a selection of tapas platters make grazing over a quaffable wine or two almost effortless.
