Australian

4 bars that New York on Tap listed under “Australian” around 2008, with what's licensed at each address in 2026.

Manhattan

• The Australian

  20 W. 38th St. · Chelsea

  Closed; now The Westbury

  Walking inside it's as if you've suddenly been magically transported around the world to a bog standard, always a bit too crowded, dull as you like pub in midtown Sydney.

• Eight Mile CreekPick

  240 Mulberry St. · NoLita

  Closed; now The Mulberry

  An Australian basement bar that's comfortable and warm, and manages to attract an over 20 crowd without being trendy or expensive.

• The Sunburnt Cow

  137 Ave C · East Village

  Closed

  On weekend nights this friendly Australian BBQ restaurant turned late night pick-up scene packs its railroad digs with teeming humanity. Depending on the individual the result is either a palpable sexuality of flesh pressed to flesh or a mild agoraphobia.

Brooklyn

• Sheep Station

  149 Fourth Ave. · Gowanus

  Closed; now The Armory

  Like a real Australian sheep station, this pub on a remote section of 4th avenue with nothing to keep it company but gas stations and auto body shops, provides warm and welcoming respite. There's a fireplace, a full aussie menu, and a friendly welcoming staff.

Already closed by 2009

• Kava LoungeClosed by 2009

  605 Hudson St. · West Village

  No license found in 2026

  Ingestion of extracts from the kava root cause talkitive and euphoric behavior a sense of well-being and a mildly aphrodesiac effect. What could be a more ideal base for the cocktails served at the Kava Lounge?
