Alcatraz

Situated in the lively Inner West Sydney, Alcatraz entices you with the charm of Spanish escapism and tapas that satisfy your palate with every morsel. Here, the mundane is replaced by the sizzle of chorizo and the clink of wine glasses, where every evening could transform into a sultry fiesta.

Upon entering Alcatraz, you're greeted by the warm embrace of a setting that's both rustic and contemporary, where the atmosphere is electric and welcoming—a perfect backdrop for an engaging evening. Whether you're snug inside amidst the laughter and conversation or savouring the balmy Sydney night on their inviting outdoor seating, Alcatraz promises an experience beyond the ordinary.

The tapas menu showcases Spanish delights, from the simple pleasure of tomate pinchos to the indulgent Viernas Santiago—Abrolhos Island Scallops in Salsa de Santiago. Vegetarians and vegans have plenty to choose from, including the papas de platano—crispy plantain chips with a choice of salsa tartara or rojo picon. For those after something more substantial, the perro chorizon features chorizo in a soft milk bun, topped with apple sauce and mustard—a fusion of flavours that's hard to pass up.

Alcatraz's wine list is carefully selected, with whites, rosés, and reds from Spain, Australia, and France. Each bottle tells a story of its origin, perfect to complement the tapas or to be the highlight on its own. For cocktail enthusiasts, the mixologist's creations are as vibrant and colourful as Alcatraz's nights.

As the evening draws to a close, you'll likely be planning your next visit, drawn back by the promise of more memorable nights. Alcatraz is a piece of Spain in Sydney, a place where every visit celebrates life's simple pleasures.
