What Lillie Dicki doesn't like about Black Penny:
here on a Tuesday night because of the 12$ Burger-Special think slider is not burger. Miniature food at a not exactly bargain price no circumcisions, no frits. I think I have with the bones of $10 for a silooner of local beer...too will not be back View all feedback. What thewhereto likes about Black Penny:
Iris Black is a new tapas wine bar on the corner of Cleveland St and Bourke St in Surry Hills. The bar has a cool fascade with dark emerald green tiles and intriguing dark interior. It is extremely welcoming, with an open outlook to both Bourke and Cleveland St. You can also grab a table outside and listen to some blues, sip on a drink, share a bite to eat. The music was fitting with the stylish interior. View all feedback.

Iris Black is a sophisticated venue with a grungy neighborhood bar aesthetic that seamlessly fits into Surry Hills' post-work drinking scene. The charcuterie plate and Italian-inspired cocktails are highlights of their menu. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is cozy, with a lovely golden afternoon glow coming in through wide windows. While they no longer serve breakfast and have a slightly reduced food menu, the tapas and share plates are delicious. This whiskey bar also offers craft beer and a variety of wines, making it a great option for a casual afternoon drink. Overall, Iris Black provides a unique and tasty dining experience in Surry Hills.
