The results are in for the World Class Winter Round
Discover a world of exciting bars across Sydney's CBD
Perfect plan for your weekend delivered every Thursday
Pocket has matured into a sophisticated cocktail den. The queues still linger on the weekends, but mid-week the busy hum is the sound of a well run business rather than a faddish it-spot. New shelves and partitions groan under the weight of vintage detritus. Even with a mural of King Kong, bare-breasted ladies and Marvin the Martian, somehow the venue still manages to feel grown up in a ‘boy-I’ve-got-a-few-stories-I-could-tell-you’ kind of way. Don’t be talked into resting on a chaise longue – a pew at the bar is definitely the way forward here where a slick bar team will whip you up art deco-era classics like a Corpse Reviver #2 or the Golden Dawn (calvados, gin, orange juice, Cointreau and apricot brandy) or something more progressive from their constantly refined selection of house specialities. Crepes, both savoury and sweet, are a popular menu item but you’ll now find these accompanied by a page-long selection of share plates. Grilled chorizo – that friendly bar snack sausage – is a choice pick and comes with roasted truss tomatoes, braised white beans, preserved lemon and mint. The whole package is pocket-sized imbibing pleasure.

I've never had a bad experience at Pocket! I've loved it every time i've been! On occasion some of the staff have seemed unapproachable but i always passed it off as busy. I love the well thought out food and drinks menus, will definitely be back there again and again...even if it means standing in a line out the front!
