Imagine a late night in the 1920s. You have arrived at a speakeasy where jazz, soul, rhythm and R&B plays softly in the background as muffled conversations take place under low lighting and red hues. With a whiskey or espresso martini in hand, or your choice from international wines and cocktails, you feel a sense of community and exclusivity, classy and yet a little hipster. 

If this is your vibe, then step into the relaxing world of Lazybones Lounge Restaurant & Bar in the heart of Marrickville, where live music plays 6 or 7 nights a week and the artistic ceilings, crystal chandeliers and display bar create an atmosphere you’ll never forget!
