The Barber Shop

Behind the working barbershop, this Sydney CBD favorite opens into a cocktail bar with real character. Gin is the clear specialty, with an unusually deep selection that gives the drinks list more range than most hidden bars can offer. The room has the easy charm of a proper speakeasy without feeling like a theme, which makes it just as good for a quick drink as for a longer evening. If you want a place that feels a little tucked away but still polished and welcoming, this is an easy choice.
