About Thirstville Bottleshop & Bar

Part craft beer bottle shop and part easygoing neighbourhood bar, this Marrickville stop lets you pop retail bottles on-site or order pints straight from rotating taps. Regulars pair cold glasses with Vietnamese takeaway ordered from down the street, or carry drinks up to the secluded second-floor lounge for a round on the pool table.

  • Bottleshop Meets Bar: Pick craft beers, natural wines, or spirits off the retail shelves to take home or drink right at the counter.
  • BYO Food Policy: Skip traditional dining restrictions and bring in food from nearby Illawarra Road restaurants or delivery apps.
  • Upstairs Pool Lounge: Head to the second floor for a quieter lounge space with its own bar and a free game of pool.

  • Dedicated Upstairs Pool Lounge

    Head upstairs to unwind in a comfortable second bar and dedicated lounge area featuring a pool table.

    a social bar downstairs and a more secluded second bar and lounge upstairs (including a pool table!).

  • Laid-Back Upstairs Vibes

    Take your pint upstairs to relax with friends over a game of pool in a vibrant, easygoing atmosphere.

    I’d recommend grabbing a drink and heading upstairs for amazing vibes. They also have a pool table out the back that you can play on.

  • French cider

    We got the French cider and it’s got a similar flavour profile to British ones. Worth trying out if you haven’t had a taste

  • La Petite Mort Tempranillo 2022

    Finally got round to drinking the Stanthorpe wine recommended by the lovely proprietor of Thirstville, La Petite Mort Tempranillo 2022. What a smasher!
