(3.5 stars) There’s an eye-catching arched red and yellow doorway but I’ll save you the awkwardness: it’s not how you enter Percy. The Spanish-themed bar has its actual entrance inside the lobby of Hotel Woolstore 1888. The bar is atmospheric, with exposed brickwork and substantial wooden rafters framing its glowing red bar. The cocktail list it puts out is succinct and interesting, alongside classics on request. Miel Española ($26) is a good place to begin. Two Australian gins, Never Never Beeswax and Olive Gin and Ester Sydney Dry Gin, mingle with lemon juice and just enough Spanish honey to avoid it being an acid bath. Sweetness is also well-controlled in the Mango Matador ($26), where pureed fruit takes the edge off what is actually a very spicy cocktail. The heat comes from padrón pepper-infused Trombo Blanco Tequila, and the dark red salted padrón rim. Thick slabs of grilled sourdough ($6) with mild chilli butter were our well-intentioned server’s idea. Ditto a standard gambas al jillo ($23) or garlic prawns. Patata bravas ($14) has had an update with the spuds slathered in smoky paprika sauce. Drizzled with mojo verde, torreznos ($22), or crisp pork belly slices, is our server’s first real run on the board. Made using a béchamel base, jamon croquetas ($16/4) bury the lead, but soak up alcohol nicely. While I wouldn’t like it as a main in its intended “platos grandes” form, the eggplant torta ($38) topped with thematic cherry tomatoes ate well in pizza-shaped wedges sharing-style. With bars like Letra House nailing drinks, eats, and service, this one has work to do in the latter two to ensure it gets repeats.

What a great find for us. Percy is an absolute ripper. Awesome food and great service. The wait staff knew their wines and assisted me greatly in our selection. The food was cooked beautifully and super tasty. All in all, if you like tapas, I would highly recommend a trip to Percy.

Staff were brilliant and looked after us on our anniversary. We greatly enjoyed the Tapas plates, the best I've had in Australia, and the desserts. We will definitely be back to try some more of the menu. Only suggestion is getting Sangria added to the drinks list. We also enjoyed a breakfast there. I had the Sheepherders breakfast with scrambled egg, and I highly recommend it.

The oysters were fresh but quite small. The anchovy brioche toast was tasty, although a little salty. Unfortunately, the steak and pork both had an unusual smell and did not seem particularly fresh, which made them unpleasant to eat. The Crema Catalana dessert was okay but not memorable. Overall, the experience was disappointing and did not offer good value for money. There is also a 10% surcharge which is common on Sundays, but this place also charges it on Saturdays.
