As reported earlier, Neil Perry and Rockpool Dining Group have replaced the former Cafe Ananas with a tequila bar and Mexican restaurant. Bar Patrón by Rockpool is home to an impressive array of tequila, including a luxe $100 cocktail, with a number of tequilas exclusive to the venue. Grant Cheyne is behind the interiors at Bar Patrón, which will act as an ode to Mexico, with a strong colonial vibe throughout. The menu is a fresh take on Mexican led by by Pamela Valdes Pardo from Mexico’s Veracruz and formed in collaboration with Perry. Pardo has curated a selection of Mexican favourites to form the bulk of the menu, with lunch, dinner, pre-theatre and late-night dining options available – plates of enchiladas, and enmolada con pollo and tortas included. Open seven days a week from midday until late, Bar Patrón opens its doors today.
