A tough decision to make is where to go for a bite to eat in Sydney, then add in the layer of finding something affordable that won’t compromise on quality, and you’ve just made it almost impossible.
Good thing you’ve come to us first before wasting anymore time, we’ve done the grueling work for you and here are our top contenders for “all of the taste with less of the spend” weekly specials around the CBD.
To start off, let’s take a side-step over to Manly. Little Pearl is a tasty seaside spot that you need to put on high rotation.
We’re keeping this simple; food is mouth-watering, and the drinks are so good they’ll cure whatever bad week your having*. *not fact but it’s worth a shot… responsibly…
Their Happy Hour isn’t just limited to drinks, enjoy a Chef’s Plate, spritzes and local wines/beers every weekday from 4-6pm.
And plan your lunch break with their Lunch Break in mind, 3 courses to make any weekday go that little bit quicker.
But the pièce de résistance is how they’ll help maximise your weekend fun. Without maxing out your card.

Back to the CBD we go and with an easy, no-bull, reliable Happy Hour that isn’t here to suck your bank account dry. Head to The Rook every Monday to Friday for a list of tasty specials that include Aperol Spritzes, Elderflower Spritzes, schooners and house wines.
