Service is SO good. We went to the Wild Rover for my husband's bday and they were so great - very attentive, delicious drinks and even a surprise bday shot. Our new favorite bar !

The vibe here is about as laid back and cheery as it gets, but a word of warning, the loo upstairs is marked with the word trough. Just sayin’ http://barchick.com/find-a-bar/sydney/the-wild-rover

You'll likely miss the door, but it's worth stumbling into the lively atmosphere & tasty cocktails inside. Excellent service , quirky interiors & live music . Try Veronica Vaughn for something punchy.
