I've had my eye on their steak poivre for a while now. Becsta: That's excellent news - and I'm glad you got a seat! I think the CBD needs more bars like Grasshopper.

We managed to get a seat on the lounge and enjoyed sipping away most of the cocktail list, no.'s 19 & 16 were particular favourites. Definitely will be back! Thanks again for the recommendation!

I only got the chance to go there last night, and was lucky enough to get a spot where you felt like you were actually in the kitchen. At one point I almost felt like helping out with the chopping and mixing. The head chef passed us our meals and happily explained the dishes that we were eating. The Salmon and the Steak au Poivre are a must! Also, if they have the raspberry souffle on the specials board when you visit, you have to try it out. So light and fluffy with an amazing raspberry coulee to match. The staff are friendly, the vibe is just right and there was not one orange girl with stripper heels in sight! You just have to go back to Grasshopper to eat!

Grasshopper is a great place for a girl's night out in that it's a stylish and friendly place where you're not likely to get hit on by drunken, sleazy men such as myself. I'd be surprised, however, if it isn't very busy this Fri and space is limited. In fact, it can be competitive finding a seat in the middle of the week there. If you want to go drinking in the CBD then I'd still recommend sticking your head in Grasshopper to try your luck - especially if you get there early. Other bars for a girl's night out that are relatively near Grasshopper could be Zeta (http://barzine.com.au/zeta-bar-hilton.html) - although you'd want to get there early too - and the Dome Lounge on the second floor at the Arthouse (http://barzine.com.au/arthouse-sydney.html - although I'd avoid the ground floor bars there!). Small Bar and Balcony Bar are good and nearby but will definitely be packed as well - so if space is important the only other CBD recommendation would be to try a hotel bar (such as the Conservatory Bar at the Sheraton on the Park (http://barzine.com.au/conservatory-bar-in-sydney.html). Lastly, if you cross Hyde Park then you can try Gotham (http://barzine.com.au/gotham-darlinghurst.html) - it's so new that it might not be full yet! Good luck and let me know how you go! Hi Becsta,

Seems everyone's only criticism is lack of space in this place... Ahh, help! Can you please suggest a great cocktail bar for some girly girls in the CBD?? BTW, love your site! Just wish I could make a decision.. dang it! Hi Dan

We managed to get a table upstars for dinner. The menu is limited but supplimented with daily specials. I had a Hot & Sour Crab soup for entree, Crispy skinned barra for main and a chocolate and pistacio dessert to die for. It was quite possibly the best meal I have ever had. Definitely the best in a long time. It may be hard to find but definitely worth the effort. Downstairs was packed, the atmosphere was humming. We managed to get a table upstars for dinner.

No standing room even. I couldn't hear my date over the noise of the crowd. It is a really cute little bar, it is just a shame that so many people know about it. I suggest getting there early or avoiding peak hour altogether. Both times that I went here the bar downstairs was packed. No standing room even. I couldn’t hear my date over the noise of the crowd.
