MONDAY
Forrester’s, Surry Hills
The steaks are high when it comes to Monday night dates! And there’s nothing quite like a steak night to impress when it comes to living your expat life in Sydney. Forrester’s does it for $10 on Mondays, and if you can get there before 6pm for a round of drinks you can take advantage of happy hour too.
Salty’s, Bondi
Surely this WFH life has its advantages? Skive off work early and treat your date to an afternoon by the beach and beers! At Salty’s between 4-6pm you can get 50% off share plates, and happy hour $6 drinks. (Don’t tell your boss!)
TUESDAY
La Farmacia, Darlinghurst
