Re

Re is a bar in Eveleigh, Sydney, and a World's 50 Best Bar ranked No. 4 in 2025. This bar focuses on zero-waste cocktails and sustainable design. Founded by Matt Whiley and Maurice Terzini, Re emerged from Whiley's Scout pop-up in Sydney.

Captivated by Australia's diverse ingredients and sustainable possibilities, Whiley relocated permanently to create what would become one of the World's Best Bars. His vision was a waste-free establishment that prioritised sustainability. The bar's recognition among the World's Most Sustainable Bars validates this groundbreaking approach to modern mixology. Re's cocktail program defies convention through its constantly evolving menu driven by available waste ingredients and locally sourced produce.

The signature Bone Dust Martini exemplifies the bar's creative approach. Equally inventive is their martini variation featuring trout roe from renowned seafood restaurants, alongside cocktails incorporating toasted sourdough and caramelized cream cheese. This spontaneous approach to mixology means no two visits are identical, the team continuously reinvents their craft based on seasonal surplus and unexpected ingredients, creating premium craft cocktails that challenge every preconception about waste. The 80-seat space was designed in collaboration with Alfred and uses brutalist elements.

Benchtops crafted from recycled milk bottles and banquettes upholstered in pineapple-leaf fiber create an atmosphere that's both minimal and surprising. The funky brutalist design celebrates both produce and cocktail artistry, with rich textures and literal fruit elements woven throughout the visual palette. It is a carefully executed sustainable design scheme. Service at Re is warm and attentive.

The welcoming team ensures every visitor leaves more joyful than they arrived, sharing the bar's environmental story only when guests express genuine interest. The experience feels like any other high-end cocktail lounge, with the zero-waste philosophy seamlessly integrated into exceptional hospitality. Smart casual dress code maintains the approachable yet sophisticated atmosphere. Re represents the future of luxury bars, where environmental responsibility enhances rather than compromises the guest experience.

Reservations are essential for this award-winning establishment that's redefining Sydney's cocktail landscape. For discerning drinkers seeking innovation beyond traditional mixology, Re offers an unparalleled journey into sustainable luxury.
