Walking around Manly one evening we noticed one place that seemed really packed compared to…read moreeverything around. That place was In Situ, we took the crowd as a vote of confidence and decided to have dinner there the next night. We were not disappointed! The place is adorable, with lots of plants and a very upscale boho vibe. We were eating early, around 5 pm and many of the tables were already reserved so I would recommend calling in advance for a reservation. They have a generous happy hour from 4-7pm which had $10 cocktails, discounted beer, discounted appetizers, and half off pizzas. The lychee Martini was fantastic and the goat cheese pizza was the best pizza we have had in Australia by a long shot! It was sweet and rich and had a great mix of flavors. I would love to go back to try more items on the menu.

What a great introduction to Manly Beach! Amazing views, delicious drinks and yummy food!…read more This rooftop bar/restaurant is above the more traditional Hotel Steyne. And the 2 are very different. And you might love both depending on your mood. My niece was super excited to see all the different gins. I was excited to see an old fashioned (with a twist of course) on their drink menu. Service was great and everything was delicious. Highly recommended.

Our Dram Nation whiskey tasting was using this venue and it was certainly very good.

There wasn't much of a crowd at lunch but staff were setting out all the reserved tables for the night and it looked like basically every table had been reserved! Pretty comprehensive drinks list and although the food is fairly simple it comes out fast, is fresh, and reasonably priced if you're sharing between a few people. I'd never tried a cheeseburger spring roll but they're basically all the ingredients of a cheeseburger in a deep fried roll - yum! Between this place and Empty Lane up the road the hills are starting to get some decent places to have a drink at.

Honestly, I really don't care all that much considering that I'll order what I like where I like, unless of course it isn't available. Well, despite it being a cocktail bar, that did happen to have beer available here, though I must admit that the place was a little dark, though that probably does add to the atmosphere. Yeah, it was okay, but not one of my favourites.

Parramatta keeps growing upwards & outwards at an amazing rate but while there is plenty of great…read morerestaurants, cafes & enough bars that you'll never go thirsty it has been missing small bars that you expect in urban metropolis areas and now after much talk the wait is finally over. Uncle Kurt's is a tiny one room cocktail dive bar in a back alley under a multistorey carpark just across from the old Parramatta Mall not far from the old Roxy. They've gone with a New York theme with heavily graffitied walls, hip hop beats & deli style sandwiches, meats & jaffles. The cocktail list is split into 3 sections of classics, modern & creamy all coming in a shade under $20 a pop created by genuine experienced mixologists. If cocktails aren't your go they also have a mixture of craft beers, a variety of wine & of course straight up spirits. Staff are all friendly, knowledgeable & happy to help.

The people the music the food and the drinks are awesome! Must try this place if you wanna have a good cocktail and a small bit to eat.

They are open late but it was a saturday night till midnight and kitchen closed at like 11:30pm but I dont know about the other nights are like. Anyway totally worth it.

We did not have a reservation, but they fit us in as a walk-in at a small coffee table with 2 ottoman seats. Not the most comfortable set up, but I appreciate the cozy atmosphere, almost like you are sitting in someone's very posh and dimly lit den. All the NOLA classics were featured, like Vieux Carre (no likey), old fashioned (likey), and hurricane. There were some twists on the classics as well. I liked the newer house specialties, and ended up having 3 drinks, more than I intended. We snacked on some popcorn chicken, which was nothing special, but very satisfying when hungry. We were also lucky enough to be there when the live jazz band played a brief set, which really set the mood. I took off a star because not every drink was a homerun, and the service was a bit too impersonal for a speakeasy. We had a different server each time. One of my favorite parts of going to a speakeasy is to watch the bartenders work their magic and ask them for recommendations, and if I'm lucky, maybe get an off menu drink. Not quite set up that way here.

It did not disappoint. It is a lively, beautiful and classy space with amazing service and interesting cocktails. The theme is based on the Rat pack of the 50s and 60s and they do a great job of that concept. The menu is a bit complicated but it's all about the cocktails. I had the James Bond, a gin martini that met all my martini expectations. It's a great experience and one everyone should try when you visit Sydney.

And from now on that's the only place I'd choose. The bar men, dressed in their 20's garb, engaged, dressed up their cocktails and put on a show. Front row seat. I went to check it out, stay for a drink but got caught up and stayed for 6 hours. Laughed the time away with strangers I met seated beside me. Cocktails were delicious and creative. The food menu was select and very tasty. The hosts/staff, made it easy and helped guide me through what I might want. Not a cheap night but I got what I payed for and left more than satisfied. I'll be bringing more guests as I love to show off my city.
