Monopole was opened in December 2012 by Chef Brent Savage and Sommelier Nick Hildebrandt who also own the multi-award winning Bentley Restaurant & Bar in Sydney’s Surry Hills. Following the success of the Bentley, the duo wanted to expand to open a wine bar and eatery where they could experiment with a more casual concept, perfectly suited to its bohemian location. With Monopole, they’ve also welcomed Glen Goodwin to the ownership team. Glen has spent 15 years as a sommelier and restaurant manager, mostly in New York working for the likes of Wylie Dufresne at wd-50 and Shea Gallante at Cru, before being lured into the Bentley family in 2008.Monopole is here to offer you a new experience in a relaxed dining room, one where you can try Brent’s amazing food that is designed to be shared with your friends. Create your own tasting menu and choose from Nick’s wine list that features over a 500 wines from around the world, with many exclusive to Monopole and offered by the glass or carafe.
