A laneway bar full of Italian wines and share plates

Bungalow 8

Darling Harbour's stylish bar and club, know for its city skyline views and regular DJ sessions.

Cargo Bar

King Street Wharf's jewel in the crown, with a well-rounded wine list and plenty of beers on tap. Not to mention the Sydney Harbour views. 

Grandma's Bar
Underneath a guitar shop, this small cocktail bar fills up fast, so get there early and stay long. 

Keystone Festival Bar
Erected specially for the Sydney Festival, this bar brings you 14 nights of live bands and DJs late into the night.

theloft

Darling Harbour’s best kept secret. Head straight past the steam boats and the party barges and to find a large room with a well-stocked bar.

Since I Left You
Laneway, art-deco bar on Kent Street with a sweet selection of cocktails, a courtyard and plenty of atmosphere.

Jagermeister Hunting Lodge
Made entirely of logs and boasting a 12-metre bar, the Hunting Lodge offers music fans a unique place to kick back, enjoy a few drinks and catch great live gigs. Why? Because there’s 56 herbs and spices in a Jägermeister and as many stories behind the legend...


East Sydney

13B Cocktail Bar Cafe
Sitting in the middle of Burton Street, 13B is a small, dark and modern bar with clean lines and shiny tables.

Downtown @ The Commons
Last year’s Time Out Small Bar of the year, the Commons has had a recent refurb, renaming the bar downstairs the Downtown Bar and kitting it out with a whole new classic cocktail list.

Gazebo Wine Garden

A garden oasis of cheeky food and fine wine. Add to that, great service, good cocktails and reasonably priced food.

Hinky Dinks
The newest small bar to open on Darlinghurst Road is also the prettiest: black-and-white tiles, Bakelite canisters, Laminex counter, booths and banquettes.

Owl House
A perfect pre-theatre restaurant and cocktail bar.

The Passage
An intimate alternative for late-night revellers.

Sugarmill
Perfect for kicking back on a sunny afternoon and watching the real-life underbelly.

Kit & Kaboodle
This Kings Cross hotspot boasts some well-decent bartenders who can knock together just about any drink that takes your fancy.

The Winery

A place to play with mischevious menus and wine.


Inner West

Corridor
Corridor used to be a fairly average tapas bar but has since turned into this cool little local in Newtown.

The Green Room Lounge
Retro chic decor and classic signature cocktails.

Jester Seeds
A small bar of subtle and stimulating delights.
