• Portuguese • Wollongong
Inspired by the bustling tabernas of Lisbon, Bar Lina is a cosy, fire-fuelled Iberian bar serving bold Portuguese and Basque flavours with an Australian wine bar feel.It’s the kind of place where everything revolves around the flame—smouldering embers, blistered veg, and snacky plates that riff on the flavours of Portugal and the Basque coast.Next door to Restaurant Santino in the heart of Wollongong, Bar Lina hums with warmth and energy. The wine leans Iberian and natural, and the soundtrack slides from the groove of prince to the head-nodding beats of Biggie. Expect stacks of vinyl, buttery lighting, and a room that feels as good as it sounds.Whether you’re dropping in for a quick glass and a bite, or settling in for the long haul, Bar Lina is about good wine, good food, and music that moves the room.While we love little ones, our restaurant is designed as an intimate space best enjoyed by adults. As such, we are unable to accommodate children, including infants and prams.
