A celebration of Sherry, Wine, Tapas, & Friends. Influenced by the culture of sip-a-little-bit-of-this-and-eat-a-little-bit-of-that, Tapavino began in August 2012 as Australia’s first Sherry Bar in Sydney, in a little lane-way not unlike something you would find in the cobblestoned alleyways of Spain. Helped by the beautiful warm vibe that greets you as you step inside and take a seat among floor-to-ceiling wine bottles, Tapavino was named runner-up in Sydney Morning Herald's 'Best New Bar' Awards within 4-months of opening. 12-months later we were named 'Best Bar with Food'.

    We sat at the bar and the barman was clearly in a very bad mood, his poor display of behaviour carried on for more than an hour. Slamming everything down which made for an uncomfortable dinner. Outside of that the food was exceptional and the wait staff was amazing.

    Good friendly service. Table was a little small for our party of 6, would have preferred a square table rather than 3 small circular ones. But a good experience and reasonable value for Sydney.
