In a full-circle moment, they’ve come together to showcase their passion for produce-driven experiences.Located in the basement of 24 Bay St, Double Bay, the same Neville Gruzman-designed heritage building as Neil’s Song Bird restaurant, Bobbie’s was named after Linden’s grandfather, the legendary radio broadcaster Bob Rogers, who mingled with the likes of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones in their heyday.

Frank Mac's. Gin & Cocktail Bar The original 1840s sandstone walls of the building Frank Mac’s now occupies a 120-person capacity bar which flows from outdoor seating on George Street, across two levels and into a back courtyard. Whereas the downstairs space feels cosy and intimate, dotted with vintage leather banquettes, dark jade and light orange velvet armchairs, low tables and a fireplace, the ground level you’ll walk into off George Street will reflect the energy of the bartenders working behind the almost five-metre-long oak bar. A handful of bar stools provide the perfect vantage point to take in the cocktail mixology while the dark velvet curtains, worn leather banquette seats and cosy fireplace of the ‘Snug’ provides groups of up to eight with a private space to retreat and relax.

We were late after the theatre but were treated with courtesy and the usual excellent service. We’ve eaten at Juzushi many times and have found the food always delicious and beautifully presented. New dishes are frequently included in the menu. The service is unobtrusive, polite and efficient. It’s good value ( we usually spend $60 for food, a glass of wine and tip). The only drawback is that conversation can be difficult because of the high noise level. We appreciate the great live jazz but find that it doesn’t always combine well with a full house. It is possible to go to the back room but there you miss the energy and vibe of the jazz and crowd. All in all, it’s a fave.
