83

From the folks behind L’Entrecôte and Sabio Tapas Bar & Restaurant on Duxton Hill comes this bar-restaurant that’s a mishmash of urban street art, art deco, Georgian, Victorian and modern furnishings—an oddly tasteful backdrop to enjoy Swiss beers, an extensive cocktail list and Champagnes like Delamotte ($15 per glass, $74 by the bottle). For bites, you can expect French-inspired fare such as drunken snail croquettes ($15) and penne served with duck leg confit ($24). The artwork at 83, like a wall plastered with cassette tapes, massive murals and a couch made from jeans labels, is almost worth a visit alone.
