Sydneysiders stunned after discovering a secret hidden inside what they thought was a ‘normal’ flower shop
- The Flower Shop bar is hidden inside a flower shop
- Foodies have flocked to the hidden gem.
Behind the doors of an impressive flower shop hides an amazing flora-filled ‘speakeasy’ bar serving unique cocktails and delicious tapas.
The Flower Shop is located on a busy street in Penrith, in Sydney’s great west, and looks like a normal flower shop from the outside.
However, when patrons pass through a hidden door and down a dimly lit hallway, they find a charming Prohibition-inspired restaurant festooned with flowers and cherry blossoms.
The Flower Shop was designed as an homage to the speakeasies that sprung up during the Prohibition era, or, as the website puts it, “the smoky-filled underground luxury of over a century ago.”
Foodies flock to the magical bar not only for its dreamy decor, but also for its selection of gourmet bites and dishes that can be paired with specialty cocktails.
