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.

A cosy mix of flamingo tiles, rattan chairs, banana palms and crumbling patina surfaces provide weathered Cuban charm. There’s a whole lot of talent behind the bar here, and they take pride in a job well done. The bottom line? Make tracks t...

Great atmosphere but sub par service. I had a booking and we sat at our table for 30 minutes before we were able to get the servers attention. However the drinks and atmosphere made this review more promising. Nice rum bar overall.

Booked here and at first was delighted. Was greeted, welcomed and the bar was beautiful. I ordered 2 drinks before 6pm (one which was happy hour discounted) . Firstly, they got my order wrong. But I went with it anyway as I didn’t mind the mistake. But then they tried to charge me full price for both. I said “I ordered the wine during happy hour” and the waiter completely lied and said I ordered after 6. He then changed his story after I said “check the cameras” and then claimed I didn’t order a “happy hour drink”, before his colleague intervened and said white wine is a happy hour drink. Terrible experience, I’m fine with mistakes but not lying. Never will come again.

perfect for a date night. we arrived here on a Saturday around 11:30 PM and we were first seated at the bar. after that we could sit wherever we wanted. bar tenders were nice and gave good recommendations based on taste preference.

Such a cute little bar! Accidentally found this place while I was searching for a place for a drink on a Sunday night. The staff was super friendly and really helpful. Cocktails were delicious, however a little bit expensive ( as expected for a bar in Sydney CBD). Decor was super cute too and a great selection of cocktails.
