Cronulla hospitality operators Adam and Kylie Micola, the team behind popular local restaurant Bobbys, are set to open their new venue, Meadow, this May. Located in the former Papa J’s cocktail bar site, Meadow will introduce a fresh all-day music room, bar and bistro to the area.
Meadow will offer a unique, music forward, drinks-led experience to the evolving Cronulla dining scene. With a considered live music program focusing largely on vinyl records, the venue will move effortlessly from daytime dining to a vibrant evening atmosphere, making it suitable for everything from casual lunches to late-night cocktails.
As the couple’s third venue, alongside Bobbys and Bangor Tavern, Meadow also marks the launch of their new hospitality group, Anyway Hospitality, under which all three venues will operate.
Anyway Hospitality owner, Adam Micola said: “This venue is an exciting step for us, as a sister venue to Bobbys, Meadow will offer a place where sound, atmosphere and people meet without pretense. Launching Anyway Hospitality feels like a natural progression for us. The name really reflects our philosophy in creating places that give people a reason to go out, shape their mood and carry the moment. As we grow Anyway Hospitality our intention is to create spaces that become more immersive, more memorable and harder to leave.”
The menu, created by group executive chef Pablo Tordesillas, draws inspiration from the approachable neighborhood French bistro. The offering centres around refined small plates and thoughtfully composed mains designed to suit any occasion. Opening menu items include; Gougères, comtè, Cantabrian anchovy; Duck liver parfait, toasted baguette, onion jam, cornichons; Moreton Bay bug, rouille, frites; Grilled black angus portoro sirloin, au poivre, frites; and a signature Meadows prime cheeseburger with cafe de Paris butter.
Complementing the food is a beverage program that is both accessible and considered. With a focus on quality-driven cocktails, a strong selection of wines by the glass and an emphasis on champagne. The list encourages celebration and will feature a daily aperitif hour that will emphasize Meadows all-day format.
The design of the 94-seat, 120 person capacity venue has been created by the team at Tom Mark Henry, the studio behind the interiors of Bobbys. Meadow is set to channel quiet sophistication, balancing warmth and refinement to create a space that transitions naturally from day to late in the night.
Meadow is located at Shop 7, 2-6 Cronulla Street, Cronulla 2230
