I needed a place to get out of the city hustle and traffic. Burrow Bar was nice and dark with perfect New York cocktail bar tunes. The bar staff made me feel at home and looked after me with excellent cocktails and good chats. The restaurant upstairs caters for the bar so I got really tasty high end Vietnamese cuisine that were perfect as bar snacks. Looking forward to coming back next time I'm up from Melbourne.

The bar snacks were absolutely outstanding. Would be keen to come back and try the entire menu. Cocktails were decent and bartender attentive.

Great little find! We were waiting at bistro papillon and realized there was a black door where people were entering and exiting. We then realize it was a bar downstairs ! Food was served too. We enjoyed it ! Lovely little surprise

Past some iron gates, there is a dark dim lit closed off alley. Look for the black door with 1960 and you go down into Burrow bar. This basement drink hangout hidden from the bustle of the city. Enjoyed a Jamaican alcoholic ginger beer & their OP dark stormy (which definitely lived up to its name). Nice vibe, good music, a drink experience worth exploring.

What is sexier than a hidden speak-easy and sassy personable table staff? Not much. I felt special at the Burrow Bar, more special than Stitch Bar. Intimate but not dark. Sumptuous tunes but not loud. Expansive back bar but not overwhelming. Hayley was a magician of the beverages, conjuring drinks from the adjectives we uttered and the shape of bottles we remembered. Hayley rocks. Food options too, Vietnamese twist.

Great vibe, one-of-a-kind cocktail menu that could easily impress any cocktail geek. Best part is, you get to enjoy authentic Vietnamese food right at the bar - an experience I've never thought of before 🤌🏼🤌🏼

This is such a nice speakeasy. We had a couple of cocktails which were great and where flabbergasted by the bartender's skills most of the night. Cool setting with nice music and a huge selection of drinks. We're definitely going back again soon!

It's fairly pricey, and there's certainly a few things I think they could improve on, but it's such a comfortable & pleasant bar, unlike most other bars in Sydney.

I went to Burrow Bar with some friends on a Sat night and was so impressed! The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, and even offered to whip up some cocktails that weren’t on the menu! The house cocktails were amazing as well. The energy of the venue was buzzing and really conducive to a great night out with some gal pals :) definitely recommend!

Sydney's best kept secret! For a real cocktail come down here. They have recently added some new concoctions to their menu and the bartenders are so knowledge about balancing flavours and tested the flavours out personally. I didn't feel pressured but they were very attentive and service was excellent. Great vibes and refreshing to have a good selection of complex cocktails.

Worth Trying. Would Return. A pretty cool basement bar that offers some real treats for food. Unfortunately given the basement-ness, there is some residue damp smell that permeates the place, as expected for a pub. Must try - Pork Skewers. This thing is crack - smokey, fried shallot oils and charred to perfection. I wish there was bread to soak up the sauce. Skip - Pate. I'm not used to pate not coming in a mini-jar French style. Not a fan of the rice cracker implementation. Pate was not very flavourful compared to those in North America. Cocktails - Toronto. Not sure why it called this (maybe maple as the syrup), felt like a weaker old fashioned. Overall a cosy date spot with a strong looking menu for both food and drinks.

I’m a solo traveler American male visiting Australia for the first time. Went to the bar to meet some Americans I met in Cairns and was introduced to the world of Chartreuse. Being a scotch / bourbon drinker and wine and Port, chartreuse was a novelty for me. The server at Burrow bar explained the varieties of chartreuse and on a whim I asked if they offered a flight of chartreuse to sample. They didn’t offer it but he actually talked to the bar manager and bartender and came back with a flight of 5 different varieties. Each of us had a flight. They reduced the quantity to half ounce each pour to adjust the pricing. The entire experience and service was top 5 Star Michelin type service. We will be back next year.

Hidden bar in a basement under Cash only and the cocktails there are superb. Recommend the Swamp Water

This is a very cute hidden bar. The bar is quite small so make sure to make a booking. The staff are very friendly and the cocktails are amazing. The food was epic. I wish I had better lighting to be able to photograph the delicious apple & mango salad and the crispiest spring rolls 😋

An outstanding mixologist delivers a cocktail that delights your taste buds and liberates your fun side. From the delightfully obtuse menu descriptions to the warm and genuine service Burrow Bar is an absolute gem of a place which I can't rate highly enough. Total legend status!

Probs one of the most relaxing cocktail bar I've been in.. and being a relic with song choices it hit the right mood for their underground theme bar their staff are really friendly and keen to have a chat when it's quiet great service awesome drinks and sick flair can't wait to go back for my espresso Martini

GREAT NIGHT, not noise like some other places, so we able to all talk normally, great cool vibe. Very relaxing, great place for a cocktail or two before going off to dinner. Will come back

Just a really good bar for nice cocktails and great service from the staff. I shall return.

Had a really great experience here! I'm vegan and allergic to nuts and they were extra accommodating. The waiter could point out any allergens in the menu immediately and it was really reassuring. I ended up getting the spring rolls and they were honestly the best spring rolls I've ever had! My family had cocktails and were raving about them too. Highly recommended!

I 🧡 the new Castlereagh St location. It was great to have proper low sweetness cocktails made for adults.

Absolutely loved this place! The staffs are extremely welcoming and the ambiance is amazing! Love the vibe in there!

Amazing service, amazing food and superb cocktails. Definitely a must!

Wow, the staff are unbelievable. Suggest drinks and are down to earth. Best bourbon bar in Sydney.

Delicious drinks, friendly staff and a chill atmosphere. Would recommend this bar, especially the mochi pandan waffles (very bouncy!)

Nice vibe. Service a little variable. The room and drink selection is excellent.

Loving the new location! Lots more space. The drinks and vibes are perfect. This will definitely be a go to bar from now on

Great staff, great atmosphere, amazing experience every time I go

Service was great and the food was really good! Wish there was a better selection of beers (there's only one or two from a can) but can't complain. Great vibes and friendly staff on that day.

Great cocktails and service. It was very hard to find the place though! Perhaps thats a good thing

Friendly staff, fantastic drinks. One of those bars you sort of need to seek out, small and relaxed.

First time here- Super friendly staff, delicious cocktails - I had “Spring time in Paris” with spring rolls ( bit of a spring theme here on a cold and wet Tuesday night. I was so pleasantly surprised, as I went in with not many expectations. Exceptionally better experience than many other popular bars in the city. Will be back for more for sure!!!!

Great new location for Burrow Bar (not new, just new to me as I haven't been there in a while). They have really improved their food/dessert menu, we tried the pandan mochi waffle which was delightful! Cocktails always good, they always hire passionate bartenders who enter in competitions, make sure to ask them what their specialty drink is!

A hidden gem at CBD!! My expectation was not high due to the bad experience before, but the friendly bartender nailed our drinks!! Thank you!

I love the size of the Burrow Bar. Intimate yet comfortable. This bar has SOUL. Staff are warm and give very good hugs! Furthermore they mix a wide range of well priced, meticulous cocktails (thanks Jackson) and drinks. I didn't eat tonight but from all reports I missed out. My fellow burrowers rave about the menu. I'll be back.xx

Really nice and intimidate bar, loved the rustic basement vibes. Had the Autumnal permanence cocktail and it was so delicious with the pumpkin spice and chai flavours!

We came close to 9 pm on Saturday, and it was pretty busy. But we managed to get a table without booking. The drinks menu comes with a nice history/intro for each cocktail but doesn’t specify the ingredients. I guess that is their style. I don’t see a big issue with that. And yummy food for the upstairs restaurant

This was one of my favourite bars in the city until the last time I visited. Previously the staff have always been friendly, provided excellent service and the cocktails were incredible. I was looking forward to taking some friends to the bar before dinner. We were the only ones in the bar and advised the staff member looking after us (James, I think was his name) that we were only staying for an hour. We were seated in the darkest corner where we struggled to read the menus. We asked another staff member if we could move to another table which he allowed us to do. When James had seen this it was clear he had words about this to the staff member and wasn’t happy about it. Half our group arrived a little later and had to wait 10-15 mins to order drinks and were only served when we could get James’ attention. He told us when we arrived it was table service so did not approach the bar. There was only two other people in the bar at this stage, the bar wasn’t busy at all. We spent a lot more time waiting for drinks and being frustrated rather than actual drinking. The group was more than willing to buy more drinks, however as the service was slow and inattentive, we did not get the chance. James made us feel like he was bothered by our presence. Very disappointed by this experience. It happened about six weeks ago but it still bothers me enough to write a review. Such a shame that it has tarnished all my other great times there.

Excellent customer service from the employees. We came here and every single employee greeted us as they saw us in a very friendly manner. If you're not too familiar with cocktails, don't worry, the staff will do their best to explain the menu to you. Our server was very happy to explain each cocktail's contents and taste to all of us and we were very well looked after throughout our time there. If you're looking for new cocktails to try, definitely come here, for their creative signatures cocktails

My experience at Burrow Bar on Friday was truly exceptional. The staff's friendliness and willingness to help stood out, and their cocktail recommendations were spot on. The atmosphere created a perfect setting for a great night out, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit. This place is a gem!

Great lil underground hidden bar next to employees only, Amazing food, big drink selection, fun, attentive staff and perfect for group booking and tastings.

Great hidden bar - stylish, cosy, extremely comfortable and excellent selection of top shelf spirits. Highly recommended.

Love the ambience and the vibe of this basement bar. They’d got lively music filled up the atmosphere and yet not too noisy. We were instantly welcomed with warmth when we got there and seated at a chosen table. We ordered pork and lamb skewers, which were flavorsome and juicy for my liking, though the pork skewers were a tad too salty. We had pho as main dish and it’s good too. We decided to try their cocktail after we finished our meal. We asked the server for recommendations, said we were after something sweet. We ordered their signature Taste Like Disco and it’s kinda disappointing. I was overwhelmed with the sweetness of it and asides from sweetness I couldn’t really taste anything else, not the sweet and refreshing taste I was looking for. However, it’s a good try given the staff’s recommendation.

Best kept secret. Awesome little place and the staff are pros

Great location, nice atmosphere, wonderful drink, and unbelievably delicious beef.

All about those burrow hugs

Very nice speak easy style bar. Great cocktails. Good wine and beers. Bar snacks ftw.

Amazing food and drinks in a comfortable, huggy atmosphere!

Lovely bar, perfect for a date or small group catch up. Incredible spirits selection, and knowledgeable staff. Will come again.

I think I may have found my new favourite bar. Will definitely be back here. Perfect for either an after work drink, date night, or catch up with a friend. Staff are super friendly and know there stuff, as well as having a great collection on hand.

My fave little hidden bar ? I divulge this secret to only my good friends! The team here are always the best and go the extra mile! Great drinks (mocktails for me) and food. BUT don’t take my word for it (I don’t drink alcohol) guess you gotta go there and check it out yourself ?.

Pretty Hidden away which adds to it's charm Amazing cocktails and staff who take pride in their job

Amazing cocktails in a quirky place with an underground vibe. The staff are passionate about their work and eager to make sure you’re matched with just the right beverage. Pricing is high, but the concoctions are certainly worth it!

Great little hidden-away cocktail bar with an awesome spirits selection and tasty drinks.

Really, the place is great. Food is great, cocktails are great, service is great.

Good service. Friendly, helpful staff. Unfortunately there was an unpleasant sweaty smell when entering that spoilt my first impression. The drinks menu is unhelpful too so you really need to speak to the bar staff to get a handle on the cocktails. Nice spot but many better bars close by.

Great cocktails in a hidden bar

Amazing spot! Really cozy bar - great for groups where you want to have a conversation. Bartenders are friendly and really cool. Enjoyed the experience and will definitely be back! Worth stopping in - if you can find it :)

Best experience, friendly and passionate stuff. Definitely would recommend.

Awesome atmosphere and super friendly staff that really know their stuff! Huge range of drinks (over 650 bottles) and awesome cocktails, as well as nibblies (and also a couple of hefty meals). Very intimate venue to chill out over a couple of drinks and catch up with mates.

Pretty sick cocktails, nearly ended up in a back lane bust up trying to find the door. Like platform 9 and 3/4s. Just run at the red shutter

Best whisky bar I've ever been to. The service and the staff knowledge on their products was second to none

A great little find. Had post work beers here and would recommend. It was quiet but maybe it's because it's new. Eclectic choice of beers.

(Translated by Google) It's quiet compared to other pubs, and the staff are very kind to you.There are many kinds of alcohol. The conversation was possible only by screaming, but the place was also good for conversation. (Original) 다른 펍에 비해서는 조용한 편이며,직원들이 너무 친절하게 잘 챙겨줌~많은 종류의 술이 있다.구글맵으로 헤매지 않고 찾을 수 있었으나,간판이 없어서 처음 가는 사람은 헷갈릴 수 있음~다른 Bar나 Pub은 소리를 질러야 대화가 가능했지만 이곳은 대화하기도 좋았음.메뉴도 굳!!

Super cosy place, fantastic staff. Will go back.

Really cool, funky bar that is hidden in plain sight! Luckily I had a mate who introduced me to Burrow Bar, and although we only had time for a couple of cocktails (an Old Fashioned and a Hot Pink), I'll definitely be coming back!

Always a welcoming smile and always fantastic drinks! Damn tasty food too, that Cuban sandwich!!!

Fantastic late-night drinks at a cozy bar that feels personal and intimate. Favourite bar on my visit to Sidney. They make a great Old Fashioned. Kudos to the Burrow Bar team, and shoutout to Bryce for being a great barman.

On the right night, with the right companions, you might find yourself enjoying an expression from 1989

Well hidden speak easy. Drinks are great and the atmosphere amazing. We walked past it twice before we stumbled on the entrance. Well worth a visit if you can find it

Cozy, quiet, simple and well stocked bar hidden away out of sight in the corner of a back alleyway just a few meters across the road from Wynyard station. Friendly cheerful staff and an owner with a passion for various good rare whiskeys. A true hidden gem in Sydney!

Excellent service, good drinks selection and tasty food

Great place with amazing knowledgable bartenders!

Excellent bar. Fabulous cocktails. Free rice crackers and corn nuts. You can order anything by they pick a weekly? selection to try. The ones we tried were excellent. Nice range of spirits including gins. Great service nice bar staff

Very cool! Had an awesome sour cocktail!

(Translated by Google) thanks (Original) Dank

Great service from the friendly bar staff really added that something extra. Cozy atmosphere. Will definitely stop by again!

This has to be one of my favorite bars I've been to, not just in Sydney. Really quiet and well hidden spot with a proper speakeasy feel with moderately priced cocktails for inner Sydney. Surprisingly for bars in the area it has full table service, and the staff are so incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, it's clear that they've set up everything to get you to chat with the staff and ask them questions, and they'll recommend you cocktails based on your tastes and what they have stocked. Huge variety of craft spirits as well if that's your thing. This is a perfect spot if you want something quieter, unique, and off the beaten path a bit in Sydney. Definitely will be back.

Must try "More Silk than Saturn", a rollercoaster of flavours...

Great company and terrific cocktails.

A cool, secluded bar

The performance of cocktail is really good. Not too crowded on Friday night. It’s a good place to have a drink.
