I visited Arcadia Liquors as a part of a pub crawl around Redfern with my friends. Out of all the bars I visited that night, I was the least impressed by Arcadia Liquors. The place was so packed, my friends and I stood to the side, but kept getting shoved by other patrons walking past. It also meant we had to yell at each other to be heard, which did not make for a good atmosphere. On the plus side, the bartenders were friendly and on the ball. I think if we had a arrived earlier and had seats, we would have potentially had a better experience. Unfortunately, I probably will not visit here again.

Wow Amazing, I went to the Arcadia Bar on Saturday night and I could hardly see the back of the bar it was so busy.

What I do know is a good bar when I'm in it, and walking home today from my office in Redfern, I turned into the Wonderful and Marvelous, Cope Street, a great Street with some amazing designer apartment buildings, of this up and coming area, and Discovered this Bar, The Arcadia Bar, which makes for a very fine new addition to Cope street.
The Arcadia Bar is a life long dream of David and his Business partner, and they have brought together all their experiences and created a restful, peaceful place to have a drink, lots of recycled wood and deep earth tones with comfortable seating, candles on the tables make this a lovely place. The service is fast and friendly, they have an excellent range of drinks nearly everything, wines, beers Australian and imported and some very nice Apple ciders. They will also make up your Favourite mixer, and have a small range of snacks to satisfy.

I have personal fond memories of the name Arcadia, it was my favourite P&O cruise ship. In European Renaissance art, Arcadia was celebrated as an unspoiled, harmonious wilderness. This Bar has that feel, it's unspoilt, feels in harmony with its neighbours, and the decor is earthy and woody. All in all this is a great adition to our local area, a marvelous retreat after a day in the office dealing with whinny, moaning and groaning people, and that's just my colleagues.

So if your in Redfern, Why not drop into Arcadia for a drink, I'll be the good looking bloke that many have made the mistake of thinking I'm Brad Pitt, sitting in the corner and we will have a drink to Celebrate, this my 200th Review.
