Sentido Funf

Sentido Funf
The inside story: The bordello lighting and flocked
wallpaper of Yelza (the bar’s previous incarnation) remain but the
claustrophobic furniture arrangements have been scaled back in favour of simple
leather lounges and wicker chairs.
The outside story: A rear tropical beer
garden complete with outdoor bar and a DJ gazebo boasting ample dance space.
There’s also a token Franco Cozzo suite, so not everything went to garage sale
heaven.
To drink: Save time and effort with the table keg ($45/$50 depending on
your choice of brew). Simply press the dispenser tap for beer on demand.
Otherwise, pick from the usual selection of grape and grain-based beverages.
Bar soundtrack: Ranges from Al Green to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs – and that’s just
in the one set.
The crowd: Laidback locals in search of gimmick-free fun.
Best
for: Pre-or-post-dinner drinks; Ladro is literally across the road. Also good
for balmy evenings but fear not, outdoor heaters are on permanent standby.
