In a full-circle moment, they’ve come together to showcase their passion for produce-driven experiences.Located in the basement of 24 Bay St, Double Bay, the same Neville Gruzman-designed heritage building as Neil’s Song Bird restaurant, Bobbie’s was named after Linden’s grandfather, the legendary radio broadcaster Bob Rogers, who mingled with the likes of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones in their heyday.

A great dining experience for any occasion. My husband and I have been wanting to try Hustlers.Syd for a while now and it did not disappoint! Very welcoming staff, the menu looks delicious especially the entrees, will definitely be back soon to try the rest of the other dishes. Food came out fast which was good cause I was pretty hungry. lol To end the dining experience, upon paying the bill we had the opportunity to play an odd or even dice game but unfortunately we did not secure the 5% discount off the total bill. Oh well better luck next time!

Loved our Happy Hour visit to the Doss House. Our server Lulu recommended a custom whiskey flight and mixed drinks which were delicious. The bartenders are creative & knowledgeable. Try to reserve a table because the ambiance of the Doss House is best experienced inside. We just enjoyed drinks here and it was a wonderful kickoff to our evening. It is a bit pricey but worth it for the experience.
