Why you'll love Since I Left You Sydney

  • Set in a heritage listed storehouse, and makes use of a very unique courtyard and carriageway.
  • This industrial space has been softened with tons of greenery, fairy lights, and a towering 4 story mural.
  • One of the first small bars in the City, and has been in operation for 13 years.

About the venue

Since I Left You Sydney is great. One enters through a very old carriageway, off Kent Street. Then, behold! A slick, New York-style small bar. It’s long and narrow, so it’s not exactly the type of place you roll up to on a Friday night with a posse (or a carriage-full, get it?) numbering in the double digits expecting to find a spot on the leather banquettes. Nope, this place is popular. It is a lovely place for late-night drinks and offers seating options both inside and outside. SILY serves up a wide selection of quality eats and cocktails. Amazing cocktails are served by jovial and knowledgeable staff. All back-lit walls behind the bar, glass tables, and tasty tasty grazing plates. You’d be a wise owl to get in quickly. Or you know, hire the entire venue for a birthday event. There is even fantastic live music every Thursday night! With excellent table service, a full bar, an amazing atmosphere and delicious food, you will surely have a good time here!

Since I Left You is found on Kent Street in Sydney CBD, between King and Market Streets. Ferries are nearby, as are Town Hall and Wynyard Station, and a whole lot of Sydney sightseeing.

Great laneway bar with the best toasties in town! The atmosphere and carefully curated intimate wine list are perfect for a catch up with friends - either as a prelude to a night out or the main event.

I hosted my 40th at SILY with 45 guests and it was perfect. The venue size was amazing, atmosphere fabulous and food and drinks were great. If you reserve the whole bar, you have the flexibility to organise your own DJ and the laneway bar feel is great for a private party. Everyone had a great time and was very impressed with the space. Highly recommend.

We hosted an alumni event here (about 30–40 people) and had an amazing experience! The backyard space was perfect, the food was excellent, and the service was top-notch. Nick was fantastic for all planning, super accommodating and helpful with all the planning. On the day, Chelsea, Marissa, and Lyndsay were amazing, reallly attentive and friendly. Couldn’t have asked for a better venue! Thanks to the team

Nice cosy place! Food are great. Perfect place to go for Friday lunch with colleagues. One of our colleagues food was delayed and she went to ask how long she'll have to wait. Her meal was delivered within few minutes with a credit to be used for next time, no fuss. What a great service!
