The bar service and drinks are absolutely wonderful…read more As someone more accustomed to drinking spirits at home than in bars, I was a bit nervous on what I could order. I did as much research online as I could about the cocktails that were made here and whether or not I'd be able to have them (allergies and dietary restrictions). Initially I went in thinking that I'd only be able to order 2 types of drinks (a margarita and a mojito) since they were both rum-based, which at the moment is the only type of spirit I can consume without having to deal with angry red splotches on my face and arms (vodka and whiskey just don't agree with my skin I suppose). But the bartender asked me what types of alcohols I preferred, so that he could make me something that I could have without worrying about substituting ingredients from certain menu items. He was able to make me 2 Sailor Jerry rums over ice and I can't quite remember what the other ingredients were, but I'm pretty sure there was cinnamon, lemon/lime juice, and something else which tasted amazing!!! I then proceeded to try the mojito, which was SO beautifully prepared, and tasted just as great as it looked. Something about lime (and mint) in drinks makes my tastebuds extra happy. And I'm not one to usually like drinks with any sort of fizz in them, but this mojito was just, I've found myself saying it a lot in this review, beautiful. And lastly the margarita. I almost felt sad drinking out of the glass because the presentation seemed so intricate and aesthetically pleasing! Again, outstanding craftmanship by the bartender. The sips I took of the drink coupled with the salted rim of the glass were an adventure. I finished the entire drink in 15 minutes (while saving a sip for my partner to try) but at no point in that time was I able to figure out what that intriguing and delicious taste combination reminded me of. It tasted so familiar yet so new to me. Fantastic. Out of all four drinks I had, I can't say that any one of them is better than the other, but the Sailor Jerry mix definitely made it's way into one of my favorite drinks I've ever had in my life, no joke. I was a bit too tipsy to properly look for the bartender who made these drinks for me, but if I could've found him I'd like to thank and compliment him on his craftmanship!

When we travel, we always look for bars from the list of 50 best bars in the world. In Sydney,…read morethat's Maybe Sammy. It's been on the list for seven years according to our host. 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.

From the moment I walked in the door!!!! Few places embrace you like this. Great staff...who can…read moresomehow remember your name 6 hours later!! lol (shout out to Emery) I sat at the bar. 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.
