So, Sydney is great for backpacker bars you can meet people, have cheap food and drink but some nights you just want to experience something new! Lucky for you, Sydney plays host to some of the world’s greatest hidden bars!
1. The Swinging Cat – Located on King street, underneath a Subway sandwich shop, this bar offers little to no signage using only a projected sing on the path to lure customers in!
Address: 44 King Street, 2000
2. The Rook – This rooftop bar is one of the best kept secrets among Sydneysiders. Walking into a seemingly plain lobby, go to the lift and press “R”. The big reveal at the top is worth the surprise! This place is all about cocktails, burgers & lobster.
Address: 56-58 York Street, 2000.
3. PS40 – Love Tiki? Hate tacky? OPS40 is the one for you! After going down the laneway a bit, this one is a bit tricky to find but so worth it for the cocktails. Not into cocktails you say? Don’t worry, 790’s got your back on this one because PS40 is also a soda brewery and makes its own house sodas!
Address: 40 King Street, 2000
4. The Baxter Inn – Actually rated one of the world’s best bars, this underground whiskey joint will have you a malt expert in no time. Make sure you try the apple sour (made with fresh apple juice and whiskey) it’s one of the more popular drinks on the menu. Oh and did we mention you get free pretzels? Because you get FREE pretzels!
Address: 156 Clarence Street, 2000
5. The Soda Factory – Ready for some retro vibes & cheap eats? Soda Factory has got you covered! I mean, as long as you can figure out how to get in (psssst, open the vending machine).
Address: 16 Wentworth Ave, 2010
Happy hunting!
