Flight Club Sydney

Ready for a night of darts, drinks, and bites? Head to Flight Club Sydney on Harrington Street, where this fun-filled venue combines interactive dartboards with great food and drinks. Whether you're looking to book a private oche for a group or join in one of their fun mini-games, there's something for everyone.

For just $24 per person, you can enjoy an hour of social darts and a few laughs with friends. After the game, relax in their stylish bar and enjoy small plates like mac and cheese croquettes or smashed beef sliders. Flight Club is all about mixing socialising with some healthy competition in a vibrant atmosphere.

The Lobo

With rum-laced creations at the centre of its menu, The Lobo has earned its place as one of the best bars in Sydney CBD. Staples include a rum 'n' rye old fashioned and The Clandestino, which makes use of waste citrus juice and husks to create a flavourful, yet, sustainable sip.

4 Pines Truck Bar

In the mood for cold craft brews and a dash of live music? Not only known for its massive steel fermenters and 1960 Dodge pickup covered with beer taps, but 4 Pines Truck Bar also offers freshly poured pints, alongside delicious plates of grub in Brookvale. 

The Barber Shop

The Barber Shop is a bar that's full of surprises; while it may specialise in haircuts by day, when the night falls it becomes a hotbed for sipping drinks and hanging out. If you're in need of cool bars in Sydney, this speakeasy hidden behind a bookcase is sure to knock your socks off.

Zeta Bar

Not only is Zeta one of the best bars in Sydney with a view, but it also offers an eclectic menu of signature creations. Whether it's a sultry date night with beau in its gorgeous indoor space or a catch up with pals on the rooftop terrace, this haunt is a top choice.
