Definitely the bar I would visit for after dinner drinks! Last Dance cocktail was so so amazing. 🤩 Great chill place with your girlfriends. Lighting is so good for photos! Was there last Saturday n with live band playing! Who likes a live band playing without paying an entry fee? Me! 🫶

Another NYE in Sydney (2023/2024). If you are visiting Sydney this is a great bar to sit back and get your senses calmed. Walking North down George Street you come across Abercrombie Lane and turn right. The madness of George Street is suddenly subdued by this unassuming Sydney city lane way. The bar is at the bottom of a slight alleyway decline. It’s a heavily franchised establishment. The interiors and the atmospheric vibe has been worked to the extreme. It’s almost as if you are travelling back in time but the style falls short of any historical authenticity. Not that this is a bad thing. The bar has a basement feel and has the usual booze on sale. No tap beer and the prices are extraordinarily high. A 375ml bottle of Stone & Wood is $15.00. I mean that is a humongous mark up. Though the overheads and staff working the bar probably make the price per bottle a moot point. Despite the overly expensive beer there is the food. Food as in bar type tapas is tasty but again extremely expensive. Though if you’re a city lizard cheapskate you’re not going to feel relaxed paying out the big bucks. This is the arena of the disposable income set. It is a fact that the older you get the less you give a fu#k about atmosphere and ambience. The interior is a moody party vibe that you either appreciate or can live without. Put it this way if I had dollar bills sprouting out of my ears I would drink, eat and charm the parade of circus personalities. I did try and talk myself into the pants if a lovely woman who wouldn’t have a bar of me. Though I stopped short of buying her a drink because at $15.00 per bottle of sub standard beet a cruiser had to either be loaded or at least onto a sure thing. The bar was filled with very well dressed cool set types. Beautiful women and finely dressed men creating the atmos that outsiders line myself would love to be part of but because of poverty, ugliness and a lack of institutionalised coolness I do not belong and there ain’t no invites coming. So if you’re in your mid twenties to late thirties this bar will suit you to a good looking tea. All in all one more over priced Sydney bar, however the high priced goods might be a good way to separate the wheat from the loser chaff. It is a place I would love to call my own but I just do not fit the mould and I’m too old and far too broke to fit in. Great place to bring your lover or a third date but if you’re on the prowl be careful because you’ll be broke by closing time.

Nice bar. Had to seek out service a few times. Was surprised to see a 10% service charged applied to our bill with no option not to pay as the total amount including this 10% was already programmed into the card machine - the policy on the receipt states a 10% service charge is applied on Sundays, but this was Friday 22 March. I would love an explanation from management please why this was a compulsively Sunday charge applied on a Friday.

Popped in for a round of drinks on a Saturday night. Great atmosphere and amazing selection of cocktails. Staff were very friendly as well.

The atmosphere is second-to-none - the bar is prohibition themed. The staff members are knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. We were surprised the staff member who served us the first time remembered us (and our orders) 3 weeks later! The drinks are delicious and you can order on or off menu items. The live music was great and really added to the overall atmosphere.
