and swing performer Frank Bennett.
Guests attending the launch
event included 'Bondi Blonde' Jamie Wright, Packed to the Rafters' Angus McLaren,
model Jordan Loukas, Nickelodeon's Maude Garrett, jockey Malcolm Johnston and
The Biggest Losers' Shannon Ponton, all of whom will act as ambassadors for the
exciting new venue, spreading the word amongst northwest Sydney's socialites that
Shear is the new place to play and be seen.
Shear
is a welcome addition to Sydney's northwest region, providing a luxury lounge
bar, dining and entertainment venue, the likes of which is currently unavailable
in the area.
Featuring an internationally acclaimed hospitality
team, including Head Chef Angelo Velante, Sommelier Jeff Long and Mixologist Kurt
Pascoe, Shear offers members the best in food, wine, cocktails and craft
beers - combining to provide the perfect formula for a lounge bar which is stylish,
relaxed and a taste sensation.
As a members' bar, Shear
will offer exclusive packages to combine the drinking, dining and entertainment
experience. With an eye for decadence, Shear has created the perfect combination
of luxury and unrivalled service
Shear Indulgence.
Shear
Food
Shear's smart and sophisticated bar food is inspired by the fantastic
fresh produce of the region, with standout dishes including 'Quail with lemon
confit pesto and parsley chorizo oil' and 'Crisp pork belly with apple, vanilla
and home made tuna pancetta'. Head Chef Angelo Velante's talents are also optimised
in the shared plates, with Mediterranean influences shining through in plates
that feature quality meats, fresh flavours and classic combinations.
Shear
Drink
Sommelier Jeff Long has created an impressive wine list for the launch
of Shear lounge bar, with over 30 wines available by the glass and 110 wines available
by the bottle. With an emphasis on varietal wines, the list will feature wines
from Australia and overseas, with Long hoping that the large number of wines available
by the glass will help Shear members to extend their wine education.
Mixologist

including classics such as Martinis, Mai Tais and Manhattans, treats for the more
adventurous including Grilled Lime and Cinnamon Caipirinhas, Passionfruit &
Sage Collins and Green Apple & Ginger Martinis and signature cocktails such
