The Lodge Wine Bar, Balmain
Always being one to lend the hand of support to young, independent and progressive businesses, I wanted to just quickly give a mention to this little wine bar which has recently opened in Balmain ~ The Lodge
I was introduced to this place via a friend (Hi Mel! 
who is a total expert wine buff. I headed down late last Saturday afternoon to try it out and was really impressed at the ambiance; friendliness of the staff; great service; range of wine and yummy tapas-style food offerings. It reminded me of some of the funky Melbourne Lane way-style bars I used to frequent when I lived in that part of the world a few years back.
We stayed for a bottle or two and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cosy, atmospheric and funky bar in which to have a few tipples in the inner west.
Opening hours are: Mon – Sun 4pm to 10pm and The Lodge is located @ 3/415 Darling Street, Balmain, Sydney, 2041.
As a lover of wine bars and a lover of Balmain in general I’ve got to check this place out!
When we are next in Sydney,will check it out. This May we are holidaying in Melbourne. Yes love all the little lane way cafe’s and bars.

Is this Ed from Marionette’s new wine bar? I loved The Little Marionette when he was there and had heard he had opened a wine bar now.
I have never been in a wine bar – it must be fascinating really. I am not great at wines but I wish I were. And I love your pictures. Good luck)
