About The Temperance Project
The Temperance Project is located on Smith Street in Summer Hill, positioned a short walk from the historic Summer Hill Station. This establishment functions as a specialised bar with a strong emphasis on independent production. The venue maintains a rotating list of craft beers on tap and in cans, alongside a selection of natural and minimal-intervention wines sourced from boutique Australian and international labels. The interior design utilises the heritage features of its shopfront location, offering a simple and functional space for patrons to explore niche beverage categories without the distractions of traditional large-scale pubs.
Food offerings at the venue focus on sharing plates and snacks that complement the drink menu. The business serves the Inner West community by providing a dedicated space for beverage education and appreciation. Its proximity to the Summer Hill shopping village makes it a central point for those visiting the suburb for dining or retail. By prioritising small-batch producers over commercial brands, the bar supports the broader craft industry while maintaining its status as a local meeting point. The atmosphere remains consistent with the residential character of the area, catering to individuals looking for a refined yet relaxed social experience.
