Overview
News just in that Cronulla will land a new day-to-night music room, bar and bistro, from a hospo pair who are no strangers to the area. Meadow will mark the third venue for Adam and Kylie Micola, set to open in the former Papa J's cocktail bar site.
Meadow is set to reinvigorate the evolving Cronulla hospo offering with a music-forward, drinks-led experience. It comes off the back of the Micola's success with popular local venues, Bobbys and Bangor Tavern. Alongside the opening of the third venue, the couple will launch their new hospitality group, Anyway Hospitality.
"This venue is an exciting step for us, as a sister venue to Bobbys, Meadow will offer a place where sound, atmosphere and people meet without pretence. Launching Anyway Hospitality feels like a natural progression for us. The name really reflects our philosophy in creating places that give people a reason to go out, shape their mood and carry the moment. As we grow Anyway Hospitality, our intention is to create spaces that become more immersive, more memorable and harder to leave," says Adam Micola.
The live music program will focus largely on vinyl records, and the restaurant will draw inspiration from approachable, neighbourhood French bistros. The menu, created by group executive chef Pablo Tordesillas, will feature dishes such as duck liver parfait with toasted baguette, Moreton Bay bug with rouille and frites, and a signature cheeseburger with Café de Paris butter.
The complimentary beverage program focuses on quality cocktails, a strong selection of wines by the glass, and an emphasis on champagne. The space, with a capacity for 120 people, has been designed by Tom Mark Henry, channelling quiet sophistication, warmth and elegance, and easy day-to-night transitions.
