Tuesday night, not too crowded but full enough for a great vibe. Three piece jazz group (guitar, double bass and sax) set the scene - great pieces, not overpowering. Friendly bar service, great cocktails, great roof top bar with city views. Recommend the tacos. Harks back to the 80s in Sydney where entertainment in bars was ubiquitous. We really need to support this sort of place in Sydney.

What a venue!! đŸ™ŒđŸ» I hosted an event at ‘Different Drummer’ for 30 girls on Working Holidays and everything about this venue was AMAZING! The owner Patrick was absolutely fabulous in accomodating our group. Every staff member that works there was so fabulous and friendly. A special shout out to our bartender Jacob, who smashed out so many cocktails for our girls and was so personable and easy going. The venue itself is stunning! I would highly recommend going up to the rooftop which has insane views over the city. They also had live music playing downstairs on a Tuesday night which was gave off such good vibes from the minute our girls walked in to the venue. What a gem of a bar! I would highly recommend booking ‘Different Drummer’ and I’m very excited to see the renovations across the bar in the upcoming months! We will definitely be returning!

Came here to have some food and a beer, expected to be typical mid standard pub/bar food but it has exceeded my expectations by far!!! Staff were so welcoming and just generally nice! The food was amazing! Best burger I’ve had in Sydney & Melbourne in the last 2 weeks I’ve been here! Prices are reasonable too! Highly recommend !!

Their rooftop terrace is such a hidden jem - you’ll have amazing views of the sunset in the City while sipping your cocktail. Sadly, no beer on tap, but live jazz downstairs was amazing

This place has been a local hangout for years. The staff are incredible and it's a low key gem for dinner. Their tacos, cauliflower wings and cheese burger hit all the spots! Great for coeliac and vegos too.
