Surry Hills

What makes Surry Hills so great? It's a melting pot of Sydney's best cultural clichés - ironic-bogans attend gallery openings with hipster coffee-brewers and art-wankers frequent cafes with boutique-tradies. It may sound pretentious, but Surry Hills is your carefully considered, well-styled friend who can be a little rough around the edges, but somehow oozes a cool that you'll always aspire to. Whether it's meeting with someone to discuss their screenplay at an alleyway coffee shop, or grabbing an artisanal whiskey at a hole-in-the-wall bar, Surry Hills is a place to spend a lazy weekend filling your Instagram with aesthetically pleasing shots to brag about. Plan all you want, but any local will tell you that Surry is best experienced with only a vague idea of where you’re headed - leaving yourself enough space to stumble across that new gallery, or that awesome pub on the corner. So roll up your chinos, and get stumbling.

Reuben Hills is kind of everything that’s both so wrong and so right with Surry Hills, distilled down into the purest of forms. The coffee tastes exceptional… but to get it, you’re probably going to have to deal with a man-bunned barista who has no time for ignorance of bean origins. Whatever food you order will undoubtedly be a big pile of delicious, exotic ingredients… laid out for visual impact, not ease-of-consumption. The fit-out is reminiscent of that semi-secret New York coffee shop you'll find in a back alley in Manhattan. A garage converted into a clean, homely cafe with industrial touches. Basically, if you love horn-rimmed glasses, you’ll love Reuben Hills.
