Pocket Bar

Overview

Picture this: you're on a weekend escape in the Central Coast and you've just spent your day at the beach, swimming and baking in the sun, or going on an invigorating walk along the Bouddi Coastal Trail. As the sun starts to dip, you (like us) might start contemplating a refreshing cocktail or two. Which is fair, you're on holidays after all. For this, there are many options, but if you're near Terrigal, you'll want to head to Pocket Bar. Sister to Sydney's Stitch Bar and Button Bar, Pocket Bar is situated opposite the beach and pairs modern twists on classic cocktails with fun bar snacks.

For drinks, you'll be sipping on the likes of a watermelon martini ($19), a raspberry lolly-inspired daiquiri ($18), the Gold Digger ($18) — the bar's version of a whisky sour with honey, chocolate liqueur, amaretto and burned coconut — and a maple-infused highball ($18). If you're hungry, there are plenty of dishes with which to line your stomach. Think wild mushroom arancini ($10), cheeseburger spring rolls ($18), beer-soaked corn ($9), chilli salt squid ($12) and jerk chicken wings ($12).
