About Bloodwood Restaurant & Bar

King Street dining with zero pretension. Bloodwood remains an Inner West benchmark for seasonal share plates, pacing banquets that easily flex for coeliacs and vegetarians without missing a beat. The kitchen rolls out halloumi wrapped in crackling filo with honey and lemon, miso prawns, and Riverina Angus sirloin with chorizo butter. Downstairs absorbs rowdy group gatherings, while the back balcony catches a quiet breeze off the strip—the crew waving you goodbye past the open kitchen as you head into the night.

  • Seasonal Sharing Plates: A rotating share menu turning out standouts like Riverina Angus sirloin in chorizo butter and filo-wrapped halloumi.
  • Multi-Level Neighborhood Space: Warm, sharp hospitality across an open kitchen floor plan, split-level dining rooms, and an airy balcony.
  • Dietary-Led Banquets: Banquets navigate vegetarian plates and coeliac requirements without compromising kitchen timing.
  • Regional Wine Focus: A beverage list spotlighting small-scale bottles and regional New South Wales producers.

Before you head over

Practical advice on table selection, timing, and menu ordering to make the most of your visit—reserve your table now.

  • Request the Balcony for a Quieter Atmosphere

    The main indoor dining room can get exceptionally loud and energetic during peak weekend services. If you prefer an intimate conversation without raising your voice, consider requesting the balcony or outdoor tables when reserving.

  • Reserve in Advance or Drop In Early in the Week

    Saturday nights routinely book out, leaving walk-ins restricted to kerbside spots. Secure your reservation well in advance, or drop in on a Monday evening when the kitchen runs a lively, high-caliber service while neighboring dining spots are closed.

  • Flag Dietary Requirements Early for Banquets

    With extensive vegetarian choices and a menu largely accessible or adaptable for coeliac diners, share banquets cater comfortably to mixed groups. Inform staff when reserving or ordering so courses can be tailored without friction. Lock in your table now for your next gathering.
