Sydney Pub Tours

Tour agency

👍👍 One of the best things to do in Sydney This is a must do tour in the Rocks when you visit Sydney, if you enjoy beer or not (you can get wine too). Gary was a stellar guide, has a lot of great historical facts about the area and was just fun to have as a guide. This was probably the best few hours I...

Grove Bar | Cocktail + Espresso Lounge

Gay bar

👍👍 I had my birthday party here and it was everything I’d ever hoped for! The food and drinks were amazing, the vibes were great but most of all the service was incredible. Rebekah in particular was so accomodating and kind when planning the event. My friends won’t stop telling me how much they loved t...

Mixtape Brewing & Bar

Brewery

👍👍 Just opened and this place is already amazing. The second installment by the people who brought you the classic of The Spooning Goats 🥄🐐 Needless to say, I was looking forward to what they could do with a larger venue and some dedicated brewing gear of their own. You may have missed them because t...

Cocktail bar

👍👍 New to Sydney is a sustainable, 'no-waste' or “regenerative” cocktail bar in the South Everleigh Precinct. This precinct has a bunch or restaurants and work spaces and you possibly wouldn’t know the bar was here unless specially looking for it. Keep in mind there isn’t parking on site, so you do nee...

Alleyway

Bar

👍👍 Had a day off on Thursday and wanted to find a nice little bar to have a cocktail, and read my book... once I arrived, the book was never opened, but the cocktails flowed! Josh is a true professional Barman. Supplying interesting conversation and drink recommendations. Will definitely return.

Butchers Brew Bar

Bar

😐 So thrilled Dully finally has cool live music. Nice decor with a crimson, aubergine palette. The band is playing "Why did you do it" by Stretch (from Lock, Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels), I have a flute of sparkling rose and I'm in bliss. They don't do food yet, so if you get the munchies, just pop n...

Jimmys Bar & Restaurant

Irish restaurant

👍👍 If I could give 6 stars to Max I would!! He was not only attentive but so engaging and lovely regardless of the frantic nature of NYE. We have always enjoyed Jimmy’s Bar as a place to have a drink but tonight took the cake. I cannot compliment his service enough, he is a true asset to the company, i...

Pappy's Bar

Bar

👍👍 Love this gorgeous small bar, centrally located in the cbd, somewhat hidden and also still bustling the day. The staff are lovely and the food is equally delish. I highly recommend any of the tacos especially the vegan one's (from a non vegan so that should sat something!) Super selection of hot sau...

Frank Mac's

Cocktail bar

👍👍 I am a massive Gin lover and Frank Mac's is definitely the place to try something new. The staff are super helpful and know their way around a cocktail. The layout is amazing with few different areas to enjoy. You can sit around the bar and get educated about drinks. The is an outside area with lit...

Big Night Out Pub Crawl - Sydney

Tour operator

😠 The Host made no meaningful effort to help new people mingle in with each other, in fact they didn't anything but the very bare minimum the whole night. It was nice to meet some people but overall I don't believe it was worth it.

The Ritz Bar

Bar

👍👍 Even if I didn't live nearby, I would always choose Ritz over other cinemas. It's very affordable (I can buy popcorn and a drink, and still afford rent the same week) and stays modern without losing its art deco feel.

Eastern Suburbs Legion Club

Bar

😠 The Bar staff on Saturday should be a bit more cheerful when guest order drinks, She is more suitable to serve at a wake 😂
