About Arcadia

Steps from Redfern station, Arcadia balances the grit of a corner drinking den with sharp cocktail craft. Low lighting, retro tunes humming, dogs welcome inside—commuters treat the room as an effortless detour on the crawl home. The bar keeps pours honest and fair-priced, shaking Charlie Chaplins and pulling cold craft beer without fuss. Tables share crisp ham-and-cheese sangas alongside plates of olives and dried figs before slipping into the smoking courtyard out back.

  • Outdoor Courtyard: A dedicated open-air back patio space where patrons can drink and smoke outside.
  • Pet-Friendly Indoors: Four-legged companions are welcome inside the main bar room during drinks.
  • Commuter Wind-Downs: Reasonably priced cocktails, craft brews, and hot pressed sandwiches ready for the commute home.
