Nice rooftop. Holds 40 max. Be warned though; closes at 10pm so come early if you want to get a good sesh in! (Indoor/downstairs bar nice and cosy regardless, and worth a visit!) - Omar Malik

Accommodated a huge group - more than we had booked originally. Lobster and burgers. You can't go wrong. Truffle fries are a must. Very, very loud. Maybe the loudest restaurant I've been to in sydney? - Heather Noonan-Hargroves

Kitsch cocktails in a teapot. Great music (salt n pepa ????????), great vibe and friendly staff. - Shirps

Cute little standing-only bar in the laneway of Council Place off Clarence Street that specialises in Mezcal. Cool drinks and vibe! - W C

Over 800 whiskies on tap and they make a mean Negroni. Unpretentious and worth the line for one of the best spots in Sydney! - Nishanth Chandran

Swinging gin bar with live acid jazz band on Thurs. Seasonal cocktails menu, try the Pimm's and Shave & Tonic (G&T twist). $50 haircuts are pricey but come with friendly professionalism house beer. - Dennis Le
