Bar 1880 in Sydney is a cozy spot with a great atmosphere. The interior feels warm and inviting, making it perfect for a relaxed evening. The drinks are absolutely fabulous, well crafted, balanced, and beautifully presented. Service was friendly and attentive too. A fantastic place to catch up with friends or enjoy a stylish night out in

So much fun! Craft cocktails and delicious snacks. We were a group of 9 and they easily accommodated us at a large table. Drinks were creative and fun, with many non-alcoholic mocktails as well. We ordered charcuterie and cheese platters along with a huge burrata with bread - delicious and well done. Price was on point with service above and beyond. Highly recommend.

My friend and I went to this bar in the city and honestly, it was amazing. The atmosphere was beautiful, with such a great vibe from the moment we walked in. The team members were attentive, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. We tried a few cocktails based on their recommendation, and every one of them was top notch. Everything from the service to the drinks was impressive. I’ll definitely be coming back again.
