About Love, Tilly Devine

Tucked down a gritty Darlinghurst alley, this candlelit wine bar pairs rare boutique pours with serious bar snacks. It is an unpretentious sanctuary for natural drops—where curious drinkers test their palates on blind-pour mystery glasses or trust the floor crew for zippy Rieslings. Forget heavy formal courses; patrons lean over window seats for a snappy sausage sanga, daily gildas, and whipped trout dip.

  • Laneway Atmosphere: A secluded back-alley setting with dark, candlelit corners built for date nights and easy catch-ups.
  • Mystery Wine Pours: A playful happy-hour blind tasting option where guests guess the grape and region by the glass.
  • Snack-Led Plates: A tight menu of small bites like the sausage sanga, daily gildas, and house trout dip instead of standard dinner mains.
