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.

Asado Lunches - Saturday & Sunday

At Bar Lina, the table is set for a proper Iberian-style feast built around one thing: a whole suckling pig.

Roasted in our wood-fired oven for four hours until the skin crackles and the meat becomes beautifully tender. Served with the trimmings: roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and fresh salad.

Best enjoyed the way a proper lunch should be: with friends, good wine, and a bit of time to spare.

Available to share as a whole or half pig.

Details

• Half suckling pig + trimmings: $350
