Don Pedros by Vue Bar

Overview

Don Pedros by Vue Bar is bringing margaritas, moreish Mexican snacking and casual fiesta vibes to Bondi in a pop-up iteration of the tucked away Paddington eatery.

This is the perfect spot for unpretentious group hangs. Brightly coloured decor and lively bar staff create an infectious sense of buzz — so too the selection of margaritas. After all, at a place called Don Pedros you have to expect tequila to be a major part of the experience.

The essential Classic and Tommy's appear on the drinks list alongside more inventive takes like the Coconut version which adds coconut syrup into the classic recipe or the zesty Blood Orange & Grapefruit margarita with tequila resposado, blood orange liquor, agave and grapefruit juice. Can't touch tequila? The menu also boasts a generous selection of Mexican beer, from Tecate to Bohemia Clara.

When it comes to the food, there's the requisite lineup of Tex Mex-style starters like nachos, jalapeño poppers and chipotle chicken wings, but the main area to focus your hunger and attention is on tacos. There are nine options, from crispy prawn to beef brisket and soft shell crab. You can order one at a time or roll up your sleeves, get a taco platter and build your own.

With specials like $5 taco Tuesdays and a margarita happy hour on Fridays from 4pm-6pm with Classic margs going for just $10 each, there's a lot of loud and laidback fun to be had at Don Pedros by Vue Bar.
