Stitch Bar, Sydney CBD

Stitch is a bar that leaps straight out of the era of American prohibition. A time when saloons went underground and secret handshakes and passwords were needed to enter the basement.

The Cave, Nobby Beach

If Bob Marley and Jimi Hendrix had decided to get together and set up a beachside cafe in their day, I’m certain it would look and feel like The Cave. This cafe oozes a chilled and laid back vibe, subsequently attracting the trendoids, surfies and vintage shoppers from across Nobby’s Beach. Note- The Cave is not for those looking to [...]

The Passage, Darlinghurst

Find yourself here on a Friday or Saturday night and you’ll be all cozied up around communal tables and the long banquettes with Sydney’s young professionals mingling all around you. The DJs are great and the cocktails even better. Note carefully the negroni ($15) at the top of the list (rightfully so), followed by the house favourite rhubarb & almond [...]
