Updated 1 week ago

Share

There’s always room for a drink at one of Sydney's best bars, but it’s always fun to try somewhere new too. This is our edit of Sydney’s best new bars, updated monthly. Some could become your new favourite; others may just be good for one memorable night. Here’s a tip: come hungry. A lot of these bars have killer menus that deserve to be explored.

  • The Bat & Ball Hotel

    Bar

    Opening Thursday August 15.

  • The Hook

    Bar

    The Vermuteria team’s saloon is bringing “oyster culture” back to Kings Cross – with live mollusc shucking and a bumper selection of champagnes. Plus, Guinness on tap and smashed cheeseburgers for the win. See you at the horseshoe bar for a Martini, then a French 75.

  • Henry G's

    Bar

    This intimate wine bar nods to days gone by with an expansive list of drops, Basque-inspired pintxos, live pianists and a library stacked with antique books.

  • We Three

    Bar

    We have a mother-daughter team to thank for this two-storey neighbourhood bar, which brings good wine and Med-inspired plates to an old bubble tea shop on Marrickville's Illawarra Road.

  • Pleasure Club

    Bar

    No two nights will be the same at this subterranean live-music lounge and cocktail bar by Odd Culture group. Descend for a world-class cocktail program and late-night live entertainment courtesy of Newtown’s first 4am licence.

  • Centro 86

    Bar

    Five types of Margarita, two popcorn machines and 100 hand-selected tequilas – the team behind acclaimed Sydney bar Cantina OK has done it again with this psychedelic, underground temple to agave spirits.

  • The Magpie

    Bar

    There’s Guinness on tap, chablis by the glass and nostalgia for the ’80s at this compact sports bar by the Jacoby’s crew. No matter what team you follow, a fleet of TV screens have every code covered.
