One of the absolutely coolest spots that I visited in Sydney. I honestly hope it's still here. We came during a business conference and ended up here 4 nights in a row. read more

My friend and I stopped in for drinks after a concert. The entrance is located in an alley, and there is a small sign. It totally has a speakeasy vibe despite the sign at the door. The photos in the entry way were super cool. As we descended down the stairs, it felt like we were going back in time to the Roaring 20s. It was a Wednesday night, so the bar wasn't terribly crowded, though it was still busy. We grabbed a seat and browsed the menu. After a few minutes, no one came by so I eventually got up and ordered at the bar. I had to wait nearly 10 minutes before I was even able to order a drink. I don't know what the hold up was, but the service was extremely slow. While I was waiting, there were some drunk guys who were pushing the hanging light fixtures. This went on for a few minutes and the staff never said anything to them. It was annoying and extremely off putting. Once I was finally able to order a drink, I asked for a Martinez. The bartender could not understand me. I think I repeated myself at least three times. I guess the way I pronounced "Martinez" sounded like "martinis" lol. I ended up pointing to the drink in the menu before he finally understood what I was trying to order. I know I have an accent, but I didn't think it was that heavy lol. I will say that my Martinez was well made and tasted so good! My friend had planned to order a drink, but changed her mind after she saw how long it took for me to get my drink. Luckily she's a local, so she can go back whenever she wants. If it weren't for the long wait and the annoying drunk guys, this would have been a 5-star experience. If you enjoy craft cocktails and have patience, go check it out. read more

Another fun visit to this speakeasy. We made it in time for happy hour which is from 5 pm to 7 pm. We were in time for cheap drinks at 5:45, plus we were seated where we could hear the band which started at 7 pm. Located in a basement, the crowd gets loud. Service is fun, the cheese board and olives tasty and they make a mean cocktail. The entrance is located on a pedestrian lane, Abercrombie, not Bridge Lane. If you see Wong's, you are on the wrong street. read more

Palmer and Company is a gem of a "Speakeasy" type cocktail establishment in the heart of Sydney's historic downtown. A nondescript door on a back alley leads to a stairway that ends in the foyer of the bar. One more door leads you into a 1920s vibe, with barmen mixing drinks and flapper waitresses buzzing around the domed basement establishment. The drinks are imaginative, very well crafted, and delicious! Food overings are simple, but well made. My wife and I shared the cheese board and mixed olives. Both were excellent and used Australian products. Palmer and Co. Is worth tracking down when in Sydney! read more

Palmer & Co is a elegant speakeasy in the heart of it Sydney. The entrance is fun to find and it's a cool feeling walking down the stairs for the first time like you're uncovering a secret hideout. It gets busy, so try your best to get there right at opening or just make a reservation. The drinks are sophisticated and delicious, created and served to you by knowledgeable bartenders. For a classy cocktail in The Rocks, I recommend this joint. read more

Avoid Press, Palmer & Co., and The Establishment unless you enjoy being treated like an inconvenience!!!!! I was with a group of four, dressed appropriately, dead sober, and simply trying to enjoy a night out. We couldn't find Palmer & Co., so we asked staff/people at Press for directions. They told us exactly where to go...cool, appreciated. We walk over to Palmer & Co., only to be told we "can't come in" with zero explanation. No dress code issue mentioned, no capacity issue mentioned, no behavior issued just a vague, dismissive rejection like we were supposed to read their minds. So we try The Establishment next. Same exact thing. Same attitude. Same refusal. Again, no reason given. At that point it's clear this isn't about rules. it's about arbitrary gatekeeping and staff who either don't know their own policies or don't care enough to explain them. If there is a reason people can't enter, maybe communicate it instead of making guests feel unwelcome and confused. Plenty of bars manage to be exclusive without being rude or vague. These three just come off as disorganized, pretentious, and. There are way better places nearby that actually want your business. So avoid Press, Palmer & Co., and The Establishment unless you enjoy being treated like an inconvenience. read more

This speakeasy was introduced to me by a local. The atmosphere was great with brick interior with decorations and photographs from speakeasy really adds to the vibe. The drinks and service were great. I don't order any food. read more

Fun speakeasy, crazy expensive and the bartenders were not nice, and seemed bothered by the crowd of the evening. Only stayed for 1 drink. $60 for two old fashioned - definitely a cool environment. read more

This is a great bar with a speakeasy atmosphere, but isnʻt the easiest to find. It is in a basement on Abercrombie Lane, which is essentially an alley off of Tank Stream Way, which itself is essentially an alley off of Pitt and Bridge Streets. There is no signage obvious on Pitt St. or Tank Stream Way, but the entrance is just a few steps off of Tank Stream Way. When we went, there was a bar staff member in Abercrombie Lane who directed us down the industrial metal stairs into the brick bar. The entrance, stairs, and the brick basement certainly contributed to the speakeasy vibe. The bar was not very crowded and music was playing over speakers, so the atmosphere was not too loud. Various seating arrangements were scattered throughout the basement area, although we stood close the bar and had a couple of drinks with new friends we had met in the alley trying to find the place. The drinks were excellent, as was the service. Palmer & Co is certainly worth a visit. read more

I love, love, love Palmer & Co. Everything about it is over the top, but in all the right ways: the European-esque alleyway you walk through to get to the door, the decor, the drink menu, the fact that the servers are all dressed like it's 1922, I adore it all. I've been here a handful of times, in fact I come here every time I'm in Sydney, and it never disappoints. The drink menu rotates but always has unique gems. This is an absolute MUST on your Sydney list! read more

I hadn't been here in a couple of years. Cocktails are fine. The ambiance is fine. The bartenders are the worst I've seen in such a place. They are slow and not very friendly. Hopefully next time I'm there things will have improved. read more

We lovvvvvvved this bar!!!!! Came here because one of the only places open late on a Sunday. The vibe and ambiance in here is killer!! Place is massive and one of the coolest speakeasys I've ever been to. Sad I couldn't pick this place up and take it with me back to Murcia. One of the best grilled cheeses I've ever had and we had a solid cheese board. Droooooooool. read more

When I asked a couple of concierge at Park Hyatt Sydney where their favorite bars were, they all said "Palmer & Co." I guess I had to visit then! Came here before dinner to have some drinks. Their entrance is tucked in the little alley...I was told it was a hidden entrance for VIP when it was a previous bar. Anyhow, as others described, the whole theme is about 1920s - from the decor, servers' attire, etc. Had Hollywood Sour and new Champaigne Cocktail - they were both good. The bartenders are very professional and polite which we don't often see in LA (ha!) I actually enjoyed watching how they were making cocktails - they were very serious! Too bad, they did not have this place when I lived the next door, otherwise I am sure I would have come here very often. Now I am a few thousand miles away... read more

The cocktails here were worth the money! The ambience is a bit more sit at your own table right your own group than socialize with the bar. Overall, a great speakeasy style cocktail bar. read more

Another really good "hidden" Sydney bar, though not as hidden as some. Prohibition speakeasy style downstairs in Abercrombie Lane. Nice roaring 20s vibe and well concocted cocktail menu. Also, had a lovely (and large!) charcuterie and cheese plate. Pros: Vibe, food and cocktail menu items Cons: A little on the noisy side, and the bartender struggled with drinks that were off the menu. Overall, pretty good, though. read more

wow wow wow! what a super special treat! a friend, the mister and I had dinner at Mr Wong (upstairs)....had plans for a few days already.....earlier in the day I was at the opera bar and mentioned my dinner plans to the bartender. He gave me the tip to ask about the bar under Mr. Wong. after a fabulous dinner...our server escorted us to an unmarked door, which was an elevator leading us into this fabulous speakeasy! wow! it was amazing! staff was all dressed in appropriate prohibition outfits... the drink menu was also very good... i opted to tell the bartender what i liked and didn't like...and he whipped out a fabulous cocktail! I wish my body had room for a 2nd drink...but it didn't (after a full day of fun in Sydney)....i sipped the drink slowly and did a lap around the bar to check it out. it was crowded and it was unusually loud ...but it was still quite fabulous I'm not sure what is considered expensive for drinks in Sydney...but it was along the lines of a great bar downtown San Diego or Los Angeles...so about $15 (US) for a drink. ...which i'm ok with for a craft cocktail of this caliber (not for a vodka soda) doubt i'll ever be so lucky to return to Sydney, but if i do...Mr Wong/Palmer & Co. will be a repeat visit for me. .... in the mean time...you go enjoy it for me and let me know how you liked it read more

Wow now this is a pretty cool speak-easy. Under the Establishment Hotel it has great cocktails although the bartenders could have been a little friendlier. However my old fashioned was good, the ambiance amazing, the ventilation could have been turned up a little just because the kitchen fumes bled into the dining area. However the vibe and the space is gorgeous and worth checking out. Expensive but as expected in Sydney where everything is quite pricey. I would certainly go again. read more

This is a longggg overdue review but this was hands down one of the best speakeasies/bars I've been to. It has such a cute prohibition-esque ambiance! All the staff is dressed up according to that era as well!Our bartender was super friendly and we had great conversations. We all loved the drinks. I had the penicillin and it was the BEST I've had. The drinks are pricey, but similar to NYC cocktail bars. Highly highly recommend checking this place out!!! read more

It's interesting how no matter where in the world you are - London, New York, Portland, SIngapore, Sydney - at this very moment, cool has universally been unlocked and defined as 1. hidden bars, with 2. exposed, natural materials and Incandescent light bulbs, serving 3. classic cocktails and re-worked gourmet dude food by 4. bow-tied and vested barhands who are channelling the 1920s. Palmer & Co. is clearly following this formula, tucked away in Sydney's old aquaduct system, and has added an extra slice of cool with its very own charcuterie window. Low lights, hot bodies, strong drinks, cheese platters. If this is the stuff your "cool" is made of, get here immediately. read more

I was looking for a good cocktail bar to go to post-dinner and was very happy to have found Palmer & Co. Between the two of us, we tried four cocktails. Favorites of the four were parallel to paradise and lightweaver. The speakeasy vibe was great and perfect for the basement location. I wish we had been able to visit more than once. read more

Palmer and Co. ? Palmer and cool. Dunno what else to say really. Gorgeous old bank converted into a prohibition-era style cocktail jazz basement speakeasy. I had a Rusty Nail, and it went down nothing like its proverbial namesake. The gigantic ice cube was the ostentatious touch totally befitting of the entire theme of the establishment. Hitting it twice in a week allowed me to observe the mid-week and the end-of-week vibes (and to confirm to the world that I'm first name Al, last name Coholic). Prefer the Tuesday night I was here over the Friday night cos there was seating and ample room to move and meant you also received prompt table-side service. Oh yeah, it's apt that it is in a bank because she's on the pricey side. If you want to impress a date with your sophistication and style (and fat wallet), bring her/him/them/it here but don't make it a weekend cos the place is wall-to-wall banging (not as sexy as it sounds). If it's a tinder date go elsewhere... like your local old man pub. read more

Not even waiting to leave before writing this one. With the "Sydney factor" playing such a role in how we view service when dining or going out, I'm flat out IMPRESSED with the service here! Haven't tried a particular brand of vodka before, so they bring me "a swig" to try. Helpful, friendly staff, and such a cool atmosphere. This will be a favourite place for sure!! read more

Being a guest in town, my local friends wanted to take me to a speakeasy. They'd already taken us to a few, but this was by far the most original and felt the most authentic. Of all the things to look at in the underground meat market (I think that's what it was) was a pair of random antlers on the wall, sans a deer head. That gave me ammunition for some silly travel photos. I was in love with everything about this place; so much so that I could have been served Coors Light and I'd have enjoyed myself. Granted, I didn't. I asked for a local beer and got something dark and delicious. Unfortunately, we were unable to peel the label off the bottle, for my travel scrapbook, so I don't know which beer it was. My friends went for numerous signature cocktails - which they allowed me to sample. We didn't order food, because we'd come straight from dinner, but this is definitely somewhere to take tourists and somewhere to take a date - for conversation material alone. read more

We are big fans of speakeasies. Especially ones that are not easy to find. Palmer and Co is located down in a quiet alley. It is not impossible to find but has very subtle and classic signage. Walking down into the basement speakeasy you can tell a lot of effort was put into making this an authentic 1920s feel. It is a large space with dark intimate candle lit tables. Bartenders and waitstaff are dressed to the era. The bartenders are also very skillful and can design craft cocktails on the spot. Cocktails we had were fantastic. On Wednesday nights they have swing dancers. Our only complaint is the price is a little steep. If you have reservations at Mr. Wong's you can take an elevator straight up to your dinner. Would happily return. read more

This bar is a little too kitschy for me. It's speakeasy style, which is cool, but the waitresses have to wear flapper costumes that just look so cheap and silly. The cocktails are good, but not good enough to overcome the kitsch. Ordered some classic cocktails and they were fine, but not amazing. Not a bad place to campout for some cocktails, but you can do better in CBD. read more

Palmer & Co is an really lovely bar the ambience and setting is unique and exciting. However, I was utterly disappointed by the hostess, never have I experienced such disrespectful and degrading behaviour. I can understand it is a stressful environment. Yet I don't believe my polite request for an extra seat deserved the type of behaviour I received. I was told to not disrespect the hostess by asking for a seat and how dare I make such a request when I was lucky enough to get a table in the first place. I was so shocked as this place has a high reputation for a fancy bar experience. The hostess proceeded to berate my friend whose birthday it was for the same reason. The hostess continued to argue to not ask for seating again and to leave if we're not happy. I made a complaint to another staff member that was extremely understanding and offered me a free drink in apology. It was a very disappointing experience as I was excited to engage in the buzzing atmosphere which was ruined by being told off and degraded for such a menial request. read more

The lastest and greatest incarnation of the Hemmes empire. I have to say with grudging admiration they are clever b*stards. This is a great hole in the wall that you wouldn't know about if you didn't know. I mean, down metal stairs through a discreet doorwatyin the alley, then you walk through the dunnies of Tank Stream bar to get there!! Shades of a '20's speakasy, I think Boardwalk Empire has influenced the folks here. The decor is very chic, even the DJ desk in old wood, and tables rare as unicorns after 5pm on a Friday night. Seems there is a large restaurant opening through the hole in the wall also. At present you can only peer through the sall window in the door at what looks to be a 2-300 seat restaurant. Currently it serves wonderful antipasto, other assorted bar food and a great line up of libations. All the beautiful people are here, darling, and if you are not in by 5.30pm Friday, well you will be queuing at the door in the little alleyway with the other plebes. read more

Palmer & Co - Usual Friday night - chockers! - Speakeasies Near Me - Sydney, NSW

Even when you set out specifically to find Palmer & Co, actually finding it is more than a bit challenging. Hidden underground in an alley off George Street, this place has a really fun twenties feel to it; the drinks are strong and good, while the staff is friendly and helpful - a great combination in my book! If I have a complaint, it's the fact that once we managed to place our drink order, it took a VERY long time before our drinks were served. The place was packed when were were there, but there only seemed to be two bartenders working. While the drinks are great, you're paying for the quality; my first cocktail cost $19! That said, my drink was truly creative and unusual both in presentation and taste; I highly recommend this place if you want to experience a great bar with a real Speak-Easy vibe :-) read more

Nice old pub from the prohibition days. It's a bit hard to find and we only knew it was there by word of mouth from a friend. There was alive band and the place was packed. The waitress wear period clothing and the place is decorated to give it an old world charm as you would expect it to be. The place lace was a bit dark and hard to find a place to sit or stand but we got a table and had a couple of beers. It's the perfect location for waiting to get into local restraunts that are flat out nearby namely Mr Wong. The only problem I had was while waiting for notification that we had a table at the restaurant my phone reception struggled unless I was close to the door being that it's underground. But my partner had fine reception so may have just been me. I recommend having a drink here and taking in the atmosphere and enjoy some live music. read more

Ok, I will admit, the location and ambiance were awesome!! Loved the tunnel entrance and the decor. But being from NYC we have been to some of the best speakeasies, and where Palmer falls short are the cocktails, and that's pretty important. We were underwhelmed by the drinks. So much so we called it a night after one round. For charging high prices, much like NYC, they failed to deliver in my opinion. From a visitors point of view, I would suggest going upstairs to Mr. Wong's, where they have some outstanding drinks and amazing food. read more

Such an awesome speakeasy. I asked for a Last Word to see if they really were prohibition-Esque and they certainly delivered! I suggest reservations, we got lucky since we were there before late evening Friday and managed to get a seat in a mid area. The waitresses all look the part in 20s garb and the bartenders are very dapper. Our hotel also had this as a suggestion but we found it beforehand and just as pleased! read more

This is a mandatory stop in if you're waiting the hours to get into Mr Wong but who's complaining right? I don't understand how this place has an average of 3.5 stars ... its at the very least 4. Located down an alley from either George or Bridge Sts, a solo light shines above a grafitti'd Palmer & Co sign beside an underwhelming looking entrance - its plain, its simple - as it should be considering this bar is based on a typical speakeasy. Walk through the doorway and behold the 1920's (or so how I'd imagine it to be). Dapper looking male staff walking around in their casual suits, tie and waistcoats, and the gorgeous looking ladies donning some flapper dresses finished off with feathers in their hair and a sparkle in their eyes. It's all about the detail, detail, detail here. From the exposed brick walls, to the perfect level of lighting right down to the old school crystal whiskey glasses and the current on trend butcher tiles, this place ticks all the boxes. Want a table for 2 for that norti pre-dinner drink - you got it !! Fancy a tipple with a few besties at one of the booths - sure no problem (best way to go .. table service all the way). Is sitting beneath you? Stand to your hearts content at one of the many tables or at the bar lining along one side of the wall. While you're standing, you can check out the amazing work of the bar staff, and if you're lucky, you'll get to taste whatever is left over from any cocktails they make. Speaking of staff, the guys and gals working here are all levels of super - they're efficient, highly knowledgeable with just the right amount of cheek thrown in !! Back to my first sentence - not only is this a pre-Mr Wongs place, but you can also access Palmer & Co from Mr Wong through internal lifts, in fact, due to the very high turnaround at Mr Wong, the maître d' will personally escort you (drinks and all) from your table at Mr Wong directly into Palmer & Co .. could you ask for anything better? read more

Like every lady these days, I'm enamoured with the 1920's. I love the glitz, the glamour, the big bang brass, the stiff drinks, the sensuality, and the dapper gentlemen. Mmm... moustaches, fedoras, and bowties; yes, please! Palmer and Co is a prohibition throwback that doesn't just transport you; it shoves you, back into the American days of illegal liquor and a looming Great Depression. Everything from Palmer's location in a back alley signalled by one dimly lit overhanging light, to the dark descending staircase that leads you into a taxidermy inspired foyer, makes you feel far too cheeky for your own good. The bar itself is one large open room that locks you in with its dim lighting, cool stone walls, and vintage décor. It's over the top; as everything and everything 1920s kitsch that they could've possibly mustered can be found here. But being that Palmer is in the city, kitsch is instantly classy, and the owners have done an amazing job with creating an ambiance that's unrivalled. And now for the deflation: While Palmer and Co had infinite potential, the staff and the crowd rapidly deflate what could have easily been one of the sexiest and most unique hideaways in Sydney. Their bartenders are hardly convincing as whiskey and cocktail connoisseurs; you can slap on a bow-tie but it isn't guaranteed to bring out the charm. They went for a young, attractive staff in their hiring process, which they surely pulled off, but without giving any attention to what the focus of the establishment should've been: vintage inspired cocktails served by lads able to tell me the difference between bourbon and scotch. The prohibition was all about the alcohol and alcohol only... and, yet, you mean to tell me he thinks Jim Bean and Canadian Club are one in the same? An insult my friend; one which won't be handled lightly by this whiskey lover. And speaking of The Establishment, the far too inner-city location of Palmer naturally attracts a late-night crowd of high skirts, tall shoes, and even bigger egos. It's definitely not as au natural or underground as you'd hoped it would be, and call me crazy, but being surrounded by girls with neon pink dresses just takes away any authenticity it would hope to have. Sigh... Palmer and Co, it could've been serious between us.. If, and only if, you would've picked whiskey over women. But who could blame you; not even I could do that. read more

Palmer & Co. Merivale's newest offering, taps in to the Sydney lane-way bar trend. Palmer & Co. is an underground prohibition style bar, with 1920s style. In fact, they call themselves 'Legitimate importers of bracing tonics and fortifying liquids'. I can't help but compare it to Baxter Inn. It certainly has a similar feel. Like Baxter's, Palmer & Co. is on the large size for a small bar. But, the space is cleverly divided into nooks and cranny's, so it feels small and intimate. Mr C and I arrive on a Saturday night. It's busy enough, but it's not packed. But mind you, the bar only officially opened a few days ago, and once word spreads, I expect it to be well and truly packed. We take our seats and are served by a friendly 1920s styled waitress. We order (Tanqueray 10) Martinis and sit back and soak up the atmosphere, or rather to people watch. Soon, 'Mr John' (Hemmes of Merivale) arrives with his group, and Mr C is a friend, so I was fortunate to be introduced to the charming Mr John, who greeted me with a kiss on my hand, which seemed completely appropriate given our surroundings. Mr John then proceeded to send us over drinks and food. Not a bad introduction to the bar, I thought! This is the kind of bar where you can grab a table with your group and actually chat. Not the type of place where you find yourself screaming across the table to speak to your friends. I love the casual, relaxed, yet charmingly classy old world feel. This night, there is a live band, with a singer glamorously dressed in 1920s attire. It provides the perfect background to the evening. I love this bar and I have no doubt it's going to become a popular fixture on the city lane-way bar scene. I've said it before and I've no doubt I'll say it again; 'those Merivale people sure do know how to make a good bar'. read more

I was figuratively blown away upon my descent into the basement that is Palmer & Co. I expected atmosphere, drinks, and light fare and had my expectations exceeded on all counts. The place has the feel of an American speakeasy (despite the fact that speakeasies weren't a necessity back in the day), melding it with the coziness of your favorite dive, mixed with cool vibes and great music. Their charcuterie menu provides more than the name would suggest and I had some of the best mac & cheese I've tried and their mixologists bring together contemporary, classic, and the hard-to-find bevies of yesteryear. This is a true five, um... stars kind of place! read more

You just can't go wrong with a merrivale venue.

Great wine list! read more

On a wet Sydney Saturday night, we thought we'd go for a couple of quiet drinks at an establishment that a work colleague had recommended: Palmer & Co. And quiet it was. For about 10 minutes. At that point the place was invaded by frocked up screaming harridans who'd been on the sauce since lunchtime for a Hen's Day and were I would say looking to make it a long night. Thankfully however, they settled down after a while. But I digress... let's discuss Palmer & Co. Situated in Abercrombie Lane, if you're coming from George St it's at the opposite end of the Lane. Walking from that end however, and seeing one lone light at the end with a vest-clad gent out the front, almost gives you the feeling of stepping back into old Sydney. A feeling only enhanced as you walk down into the depths of what was once the Tank Stream. With jazz being played at a respectable level and the staff decked out in finery, the place is a joy to the eyes as much as the beverages are a delight to the taste-buds. As for the drinks, there is a remarkably wide selection. All of which the wait-staff are able to discuss with you. Think ahead though for those of you who, like us, wear glasses to read. The print is small and the place appropriately dimly lit. Don't forget your glasses! The prices are Hemmes-ish, so don't expect to drop in for a few after work beers as if it's the local bar and pay similar prices. That's not going to happen. If you're wanting to have a few classy drinks pre-show or pre-dinner, or even post either, this is the place to do it. The staff are friendly, the selection is great, and the atmosphere spot-on. You might want to ring ahead to see if the Harridans have left yet though. read more
