Messina SnackBar

Overview

Have you ever dreamed of having ice cream for dinner? Well, your wish is Messina Creative's command. Big changes are happening at the gelato masters' Marrickville HQ with the launch of a Sydney exclusive pop-up: the SnackBar, where wines, bites, scoops and tunes are on the menu every Sunday from 4pm–late.

For anyone who has been pining for a seat at one of Messina Creative's coveted six-course degustations, the SnackBar offers an accessible alternative, giving diners the chance to dip a toe into the world of gourmet gelato. Expect elevated, bespoke flavours, including spiced dark chocolate gelato with olive oil and sea salt and smooth coconut sorbet with caramelised mango liqueur.

In addition to these chilled treats, guests can sip natural drops and enjoy other delicious snacks, such as prawn toast with tomato sriracha and the Messina glizzy with Emilio's pork sausage, spiced ketchup and mustard. Setting the mood, low-fi tunes will also be pumping from the venue's Pitt and Giblin sound system (one of the few residing in Sydney). Access is strictly limited to patrons aged 18 and over, so be sure to leave the rugrats at home.
