Monkey Magic

MONKEY MAGIC WINTER SPECIAL!

Crown Street’s coolest Japanese cocktail bar fires up a mid-week meal deal.

The only thing hotter than the wasabi and the cocktails at Monkey Magic this month is their mid-week winter special which offers 20% off all food, wine and cocktails.

The special offer runs Monday to Wednesdays during the Sydney winter and applies to everything on the menu, from their lip-smacking salt and pepper cuttlefish to the legendary Dr Zeuss cocktail, a psychadelic mix of gin, St Germain liquer, absinthe, lemon, cucumber, eggwhite and soda!

Boasting chilled beats, dark wood, homemade sake and high-grade Japanese food, Monkey Magic is New York lounge meets mod-Tokyo pop-up and, since opening on Sydney’s most famous eat street, has had tongues wagging.

Some liken its vibe to Longrain for its all-wood fit out, open kitchen, big tables, separate cocktail bar and friendly staff. Others prefer the Toko comparison – Japanese fusion with cocktails (Monkey Magic make their own sake – perfect on a cold winter night!).

But this deal makes Monkey Magic a restaurant bar apart this winter.

So order a Ken Watanabe (a heady concoction of citrus, fresh apple and cucumber with wasabi named for the Japanese star of Batman Begins and The Last Samurai) and a nigiri platter laden with kingfish, tuna and salmon and enjoy your 20% discount, diners!
