Two new Perth spots, three closures, and what corkage costs in Newtown
This week findbyo added two BYO restaurants in Perth, removed three venues that have closed, and corrected two listings. The map now covers 1,352 BYO restaurants across 28 cities. This week's suburb is Newtown in Sydney, where 22 restaurants are listed as BYO.
New on the map
Corrected and removed
- Chiosco by Ormeggio, Sydney
- BYO confirmed from the venue's own website: wine and champagne, $20 per bottle. The call-ahead flag has been removed.
- Phamish, Sydney
- Address and map pin corrected to 248 Palmer Street, Darlinghurst, after a reader pointed out the old pin was on Victoria Street.
- Bar Carolina, Melbourne
- Flagged call-ahead. A diner reported it is not BYO and the venue's website doesn't say either way, so check before you bring a bottle.
- Thai Aroy, Brisbane
- Removed. The Indooroopilly restaurant has permanently closed.
- A Tavola, Sydney
- Removed. The Darlinghurst restaurant has permanently closed.
- Red Lantern, Sydney
- Removed. The Darlinghurst restaurant has permanently closed.
- Thirty-two closed venues, across the map
- Removed after a Google Places check found them permanently closed, including Rubyos and Konak in Newtown and Don't Tell Uncle in Cammeray (its sister venue, Don't Tell Aunty, is moving to a new location).
Suburb of the week: Newtown, Sydney
Newtown has 22 restaurants listed as BYO, most of them along King Street and Enmore Road. Seven have a corkage fee on record, from free to $18. The other 15 are BYO with no fee listed yet, and ten listings carry a call-ahead flag because the venue itself hasn't confirmed its policy. If you know what any of them charge, tell us on the venue's page.

New on findbyo
- Corkage now shows what it is charged per: per bottle, per person or per glass. A $4 fee means something different at a table of six, so listings say which.
- Adding a venue no longer needs a map pin. Type the restaurant's name, pick it from the list, and the address fills itself in.
- 492 listings gained a link to the restaurant's own website.
- You can now add a missing BYO restaurant or report a wrong listing by asking an AI assistant connected to findbyo. Every contribution is checked by a person before it reaches the map.
Help keep it accurate
findbyo is built by the people who use it. If a listing is wrong, or a BYO restaurant is missing, open the map and tell us. Corkage fees and BYO policies change, so for a special occasion, call the restaurant first.
