Eau de Vie

Hidden in the back of the Kirketon is a terrific new bar with friendly service and dynamite cocktails

Eau de Vie
First published on . Updated on 3 Feb 2012.

This tiny speakeasy-style bar is one of Sydney’s best cocktail bars. Why? If you have to ask, you’ll need to visit. Eau de Vie is hidden in the back of the Kirketon Hotel. The cocktail bar is staffed by a team who are as much about having a good time as they are making you the best damned cocktails you’re likely to drink in Sydney. The range of booze is mind blowing, and owner Sven Almenning is also in possession of the greatest collection of antique cocktail accessories in the country. You can spend some serious dough here - bottle service means you have access to your own private hooch locker if you’re lucky enough to be part of the club - while a round of drinks for you and your friends will probably set you back a cool hundred. But if you’re here, you’re here to have a good time drinking great drinks.
