About

Down in the basement of Hinchcliff House, this is a Sydney cocktail bar with real atmosphere and a clear point of view. The room draws on Sicilian and Italian influences without turning theatrical, and the result feels intimate, polished, and a little removed from the city above. Cocktails are the reason to come, especially if you like spirit forward drinks and strong Italian classics such as the Negroni, along with smart variations on them. A deep spirits selection and confident bartending give the place substance beyond the setting. It suits a late drink, a date, or anyone who wants something stylish but not stiff.
