Reviews for Bad Mama
Shannon Smith
Exceptional Cyberpunk-esque bar. Great Taiwanese/Japanese fusion cuisine, decor is out of this world. Only bad part is a very limited sake menu.

Bad Mama Bar in Surry Hills never misses, great food, chill atmosphere, and that perfect mix of music and mood. But what truly makes Thursday nights special is Kiran behind the bar. This guy is pure class,smooth, skilled, and effortlessly charming. Every cocktail he mixes is a masterpiece, and he somehow remembers exactly what you ordered weeks ago. The way he talks to customers, keeps the energy up, and turns a normal drink order into a full experience is next-level. Honestly, Kiran is the kind of bartender who makes the whole venue shine. Management ,if you’re reading this,he’s the reason people keep coming back. Give that man a raise he deserves. 🍸🔥

Wonderful date location, Great atmosphere and location, fast service and good food - there was a DJ playing some very fun relaxed music It’s a little bit pricy on a Sunday with the surcharge ended up paying about 60 per person

Food was sooo good!!! It's Taiwanese-Japanese fusion. We ordered the prawn sesame roll, and it was bomb!!! The chicken wings were good too! We sat downstairs, where there was live music, but it was a little too dark. The table and chair weren't the best – not too comfortable.

We really love this place. The food is exceptional and fun. And the drinks are a little bit wacky and I could get anything. And the atmosphere is really cookie and beautiful. This is a favourite spot.
