BABS Pop-Up at Either/Or

Overview

There is arguably no better combo than wine and snacks, something the BABS team know all too well. They're bringing their successful pop-up back to Newtown's Either/Or and by all accounts, absolutely stepping it up a notch after two successful sell-outs.

Putting some of the city's best female-led kitchens in the spotlight, the third round of BABS (which stands for Bad Ass Bitches, in case you were unaware) has chef Laura Rheinlander (Bar Vincent) and Ellie Hayes-O'Brien behind the menu. Think sharing snackies like Teta's olives, pumpkin tempura with brown butter and lemon, pancetta arrotolata with prune and even BABS' take on a fried sardine sandwich.

To wash all that down is a wild wine list from a bevvy of female winemakers curated by Bec Shave— including a glass of Val Frison 'Lalore' blanc de blanc brut nature on arrival. Cheers to that.

Running across two sessions on Sunday, August 14, tickets will set you back $90. And don't worry if you're a dietary-requirement darling — the BABS ladies will see you're catered to accordingly (and deliciously).
