Overview
Operating under the (often correct) assumption that if some is good, more must be better, everybody's favourite American bar and eatery, Surly's in Surry Hills, has launched an upstairs expansion.
The recently-renovated upstairs area, christened Smokey's Cabin, continues the convincing Americana theme with a dark interior, neon bar signs, wood paneling, exposed bricks, charismatic brown Chesterfield leather sofas and, of course, the massive BBQ plates (with cornbread stacked high on the sides) you've come to love.
This atmospheric attic space also features an epic mural by Sydney artist Sindy Sinn, featuring spooky skeletons on motorbikes. But the best part? Those bound-to-be-popular shuffleboards on which you can work off some of that BBQ and those crunchy chicken wings.
Smokey's Cabin is open Wednesday to Saturday at 182 Campbell Street, Darlinghurst.
