Give your afternoon
somewhere to go

​​You might know us after dark. Now there’s another reason to come by. Lunch at Linla is made for the middle of a Surry Hills day: a quick pancake, a proper catch-up, or a seat on the balcony that’s difficult to leave.

​

Pull up a seat above Bourke Street. Meet a friend, take your lunch outside, or open your laptop for a change of scene. There’s room for a quick stop and for the afternoon that gets away from you.

    For one night only, Messengerservice Bar takes over the bar at Linla, bringing its distinctive approach to cocktails from Bangkok’s Old Town to Surry Hills. Currently ranked No. 69 in Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2026, Messengerservice has built its name by looking at familiar ingredients differently.

We don't just serve drinks and food. We pour stories into the glass and plate — cocktails that lean experimental but stay welcoming, paired with bold, pan-Asian flavours built for sharing

OCCASIONS

"Their cocktails taste just like a delicious milk tea even this clarified papaya milk tea. Their food was light and delicious particularly this addictive bag shaking crispy chicken with sichuan seasoning and fresh Wagyu beef tartare. Then we finished out with this cute fairy Bread Bao with vanilla ice cream."
