Hidden in a CBD alley, The Baxter Inn is a moody, whisky-lover’s haven with over 800 bottles, candlelit charm, and speakeasy vibes.

Hidden beneath Pitt Street, Door Knock is a Parisian‑meets‑speakeasy cocktail & wine bar—knock three times on a brass pineapple and step into a dimly lit, velvet‑lined world of refined flavour and cosy intrigue.

Descend into The Lobo in Sydney’s CBD—an atmospheric rum hideout brimming with lush Caribbean charm, featuring plush Chesterfields, rattan accents, over 250 rums, and cocktails that burn, dazzle, and delight.

Tucked behind a barber’s facade on York Street, The Barber Shop is Sydney’s award-winning gin sanctuary—boasting 700+ gins, chic martinis, and discreet sophistication that’s as smooth as the drinks they pour.

Hidden up a narrow stair in a quiet alley off Circular Quay, Bulletin Place offers seasonal cocktails on butcher-paper menus, attentive service, and relaxed charm in a snug, cult-favourite setting.
