Down-N-Out West Pop-Up Burger Bar

Overview

The legends behind Hashtag Burgers have been all over the place this year — and they've just expanded out west. Following the massive hype around their masterful Burgapalooza festival and their adorable Pokemon-inspired burgers, Sydney's new-age burger heroes are taking their In-N-Out-inspired pop-up — which is currently set up at the CBD's Sir John Young Hotel — to Penrith. Smartly dubbed Down-N-Out West — not to be confused with the actual In-N-Out pop-ups that polarise Sydney every couple of months — the pop-up will open on Friday, October 21 on High Street in Penrith.

As it's a homage to In-N-Out's classic combo of beef, bread and American cheese, the menu — created by former Mr. Crackles Head Chef Sebastien Cens — will follow suit with the existing pop-up. It's a simple one, but includes a few Aussie twists (namely a vego option, which we're quite happy about).

American-inspired burger joints seem to be a reoccurring theme in Sydney's food scene, with the Shake Shack spin-off Jack's Newtown opening late last year. We just hope a Five Guys-inspired eatery is next on the list.

The Penrith pop-up will be open 11.30am - 3pm and 5-9pm Tuesday to Thursday, 11.30am - 3pm and 5pm - late on Fridays, 12-3pm and 5pm - late on Saturdays, and 12-3pm and 5-9pm on Sundays.
