The first you see when you sail into the Sydney harbor is the Opera House. Perfectly nestled on the grounds of the famous building is the popular watering-hole, Opera Bar. It’s probably the best beer garden in the world, honestly ideal for any occasion including early breakfast, a lazy lunch, or a pre-show dinner. Their wine list boasts grapes from all over the world and their cocktail list is upgraded quarterly, making great surprises over and over again. Cheers!

annata bar

Annata is officially one of eleven the best Sydney’s wine bars and the best-kept secret north of the bridge! With an extensive list of wine from various corners of the world, it is the place where is near-impossible to decide how to start. The food they offer is equally impressive with coffee braised lamb, ace crispy onion petals, and burrata with hazelnut. If you want to dodge crowd, go north of the bridge and spend a few hours at this fine place.

With the backlit wall of whiskey, the Baxter Inn offers an impressive collection. This underground whiskey cellar is a perfect place for everybody who is enamored with the backlit wall, which is accessible by having well-coiffed bartender climb along the counters. The menu board starts at the ceiling in three columns and ends somewhere out of sight. They are proud of having unusual releases and rare bottles. Bartenders are some of the best in the city and not order a cocktail is a wasted opportunity. It’s the magical place in every possible way.

ramblin rascal tavern

Ramblin’ Rascal Tavern is already the legend! Some awesome people run this place where you can drink Cognac and ‘shit tinnies’ (a can of beer). But, whatever you choose to drink, it will be good. With food provided by Mary’s Burgers, first-rate cocktails, and marvelous music, this bar offers a good night out. They keep the lights low and Cognac collection impressive. All three owners have a secret superpower and whip up exciting drinks with a side of the bar when they work together. You will meet all of them there..if you have luck.
