A celebration of Sherry, Wine, Tapas, & Friends. Influenced by the culture of sip-a-little-bit-of-this-and-eat-a-little-bit-of-that, Tapavino began in August 2012 as Australia’s first Sherry Bar in Sydney, in a little lane-way not unlike something you would find in the cobblestoned alleyways of Spain. Helped by the beautiful warm vibe that greets you as you step inside and take a seat among floor-to-ceiling wine bottles, Tapavino was named runner-up in Sydney Morning Herald's 'Best New Bar' Awards within 4-months of opening. 12-months later we were named 'Best Bar with Food'.

We were there to celebrate my wife’s birthday with other members of the family and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. All the entrees were delicious and everyone was happy with the main courses. Friendly service, ambience and water views make this an outstanding venue. Thankyou.

Tried to put us inside despite tables being available outside. We were told that they(?) had booked…. Clearly so had we but maybe Open Table doesn’t count!!! Took us 10 mins to sort that out, after which service was good. Everything overpriced but good quality.

I absolutely loved the atmosphere at The Grounds. The decor is stunning, and the ambience makes me feel relaxed and comfortable. They’ve put a lot of thought into creating a welcoming environment. The service stood out for me. It was the perfect mix of professionalism and friendliness, which made the whole experience even better. Everything about The Grounds—from the decor to the overall vibe—felt thoughtful and inviting. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a place to unwind and enjoy excellent service.
