Why you'll love The Lobo

  • An intimate, award winning Rum bar.
  • Cosy table-service lounge area & Caribbean themed decor throughout.
  • Creative, fresh & fun cocktails thrown all year round.

It's all about the rum at The Lobo, with a collection of more than 250 bottles dating back as far as 1930. In the great tradition of rum bars, cocktails are both delicious and cleverly named. This is a bar to while away a few hours, with squashy banquette seating and caribbean decor to match.

The Lobo is one of the coolest places to drink in Sydney. Inspired by Julio Lobo, the last Cuban sugar baron, we are a stylish and charming bar that is all about rum, good vibes, high-quality cocktails.

On Clarence Street in the CBD, you’ll find The Lobo tucked away, through heavy wooden doors, down a curved staircase.
It’s a cosy and intimate spot though, so reservations are recommended to avoid disappointment. It is also available for exclusive hire, with a capacity of 100 pax. With a great vibe, attentive bar staff, and delicious cocktails, The Lobo is the perfect place to while away for a few hours.

Amazing cocktails, with a good variety between easy to drink and more complex mixology. Loved the place, decor and atmosphere too. Will come back! Approx $25 a cocktail but they also do happy hour 5–6pm daily with $13 cocktail and more. Recommend old grogan and king mango.

Had an amazing girls' night out at The Lobo! We tried their signature cocktail, the Old Grogram, and it did not disappoint. The best part? The dramatic flames that add a fun twist to the experience! Definitely a must-try for anyone visiting. Great vibe, fantastic drinks, and an all-around unforgettable evening!

Nice vibes. Nice theme. Nice reggae music. Ashamed there was almost no service at this bar on Valentine’s night. No welcome. Found our own seats. Ordered at the bar. Had to get water and (banana) chips on our own. It’s a rum bar which I’m not a huge fan of rum but i’d still come back cause vibes. Maybe next time I’ll give rum cocktail a chance cause their tequila cocktail was meh.

Did a rum tasting event which was fantastic. Didn't really know what to expect but gained an appreciation of nice rums. The cocktails afterwards were top notch. 100% would visit again
