The Etymon Projects vision is to create, curate and manage world class hospitality, lifestyle and leisure businesses within Australia and offshore.
We want to work with people who align with the Etymon values of Excellence, Innovation, Integrity and Passion, and who want to be a part of a growing hospitality services business with people at its centre.
The Venue
Fire, wood and charcoal are at the heart of Poetica Bar & Grill, a refined and relaxed modern Sydney bar and grill in the heart of North Sydney. We opened our doors to rave reviews in early September 2023 and received One Hat from the Good Food Guide in our first few weeks.
Along one side of the 120-seat light-filled restaurant is an impressive 700-bottle wine wall, glass-fronted dry-ageing cabinets, and a 15-metre-long open kitchen featuring a Josper charcoal oven and custom wood-burning hearth.
