Tucked away from the main drag, it feels like a hidden speakeasy that rewards you for finding it. The space is cozy and dimly lit, with vintage vibes and a laid-back energy that makes you want to stay awhile. The cocktail list is thoughtful and well-executed, with classics done right and a few creative twists. I went with a Guinness beer. What really stood out was the vibe, relaxed but polished, never pretentious. It's a great spot for a quiet conversation, a low-key date, or a nightcap after wandering around The Rocks. If you're looking for a bar with character, strong drinks, and zero tourist-trap energy, The Doss House is absolutely worth a visit.

But the signage is pretty good so it's not hard to find the entrance. On a chilly winter night, we made our way down to the dimly lit, very cozy space for a couple of drinks. After gaping at the amazing whiskey selection and many minutes of deliberation over the menu, I selected the Bushmaster Sour and my sister went with a Penicillin. Though we decided not to partake this go around, they also offer a bunch of whiskey flights that look wonderful and are very reasonably priced as well. The masterful bartender whipped up our drinks in a jiff, and was super friendly throughout. We took our drinks to the next room over, where there were a handful of hightops and stools. My drink was hands down the best sour I've ever had (a drink I don't usually opt for) and probably one of the better whiskey drinks I've had as well--I have consumed many a whiskey drink. It was the perfect balance of flavors while not overwhelming the whiskey itself. The combo of citrus, lemongrass, ginger, and tea tree left my belly toasty and comfy for the evening. My sister enjoyed her penicillin a lot as well, though as she noted, had never had a penicillin similar. It was much savory than any I've ever tried, but very good as well. I would absolutely recommend Doss House for any whiskey or speakeasy fanatics in Sydney. And if whiskey isn't your thing, they've got plenty of other cocktails and a good beer and wine selection as well!

Tucked away at the very top of Angel Place Bar (there's a dedicated entrance stairway on the lane side of the building) they've gone all-out whiskey bar, and done it well. It filled up quickly after about 6pm with the after-work crowed, and while there's a decent number of seats it's not really a standing venue, so get in early if you want to be sure to get a spot. The service was top notch, and very friendly without being annoying. The menu had recently changed from what they have on their website, but they happily did up the White Negroni for us because I was keen to try it. Great place. I'll be back for sure.

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.

We went down to have a whiskey flight to find out they only do it on a Monday, oh man, it's Sunday! We waited 20 minutes to order a drink... To be fair there was only one waiter on the floor and he was running to cover the entire floor, that's not fair! The manager really should better staff the place in my opinion. We were offered our first round free as we waited so long; we didn't say anything it was just offered to us. We then ordered a second round of cocktails. Unfortunately, my second espresso martini was not at all like the first, which was delicious. This one didn't taste like coffee and tasted just boozy and not in a good way. I forced myself for a bit at $20 a cocktail, but then decided life is too short for bad cocktails and didn't drink it. 3 more staff were put on the floor when it became dark. I ordered water... I waited... I watched the waitress who I ordered from chat to other staff... I waited. It didn't come. I stared at her trying to get her attention, she looked at me and said water and walked off... We were given 1 glass to share, seriously? We've been drinking cocktails and we have 1 glass to share. Where is your RSA??? I'm giving Grain 3 stars for the waiter who ran around and manned the floor better than 4 ppl. We were offered another cocktail and then given the bad espresso martini for free, which is a nice gesture. (I asked and there was a change over in bar tender so I didn't want another cocktail) The amazing waiter is their saving grace. If the cocktails had been as good as the first one, we would've stayed for my cocktails.

I wish I had come here earlier while I lived in Sydney because it is such a classy joint. Not to mention a lil country, a lil rock & roll, and quite frankly... one of my favorite bars in Sydney. A good point of reference is the American Apparel on Oxford Street. It's in the lil alley right behind. There will be no sign, but there will be a security guard (and depending on the time of day: a line). I have had several drinks here and must have enjoyed myself a little too much bc I don't remember the names. But there is a great selection of cocktails and if you want something a lil different or a lil special, the cool bartenders can fix something up for ya! Yes, the peanuts are a nice touch. Not to mention the candles, the wooden decor, and the funkiness of it all. If you don't believe me, here's another reason why five stars is earned: a moose on the wall. Need I say more?

Still, there were some nice beers on tap, so that certainly counts for something.
