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.

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.

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.

Sily is a must-visit! The cocktails are expertly crafted, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere is vibrant yet relaxed, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Perfect spot for a great night out!

A charming venue with excellent service! Was lucky enough to nestle into a prime seat to watch The Robbie Mann Trio and enjoy chilled drinks with a hot jazz beat on a cool Spring eve. Would highly recommend a second round! Special shout out to the barmen for their excellent service, providing cranberry juice and a warm heater on the hop!!! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Luckily came in a night where there was live music, which felt like the sole redeeming factor here. Staff look like they don't want to be here, which in turn made me also not want to be here. A waitress sat us down and just threw us a menu and went away, without communicating clearly that we had to order at the bar. We'd tried to ask for something once our drinks arrived, and they said they'd bring it, only to forget it later. Cocktails were pretty disappointing too. If you treat it like a dive on a Friday, it'll be alright, but if you want craft cocktails like the rest of the YCK Laneways, you'd best look elsewhere.
