Alleyway

The Verdict

Nestled right in the heart of the CBD, Alleyway is your new go-to for after work drinks (or lunchtime bevvies—it’s 5 o’clock somewhere right?).

From the guys who brought you Avenue, Alleyway is Sydney’s newest secret spot serving up bespoke cocktails and next-level charcuterie boards (what a combo). 

It’s pretty hidden from all the hustle and bustle so be careful not to walk straight past it, because you won’t want to miss the cocktails coming over this bar. Whisky connoisseurs will be pleased to hear that these guys know their single malts, but they also specialise in winter warmers for every palate—they’ve even got Hawke’s Lager on tap. Yes our former PM Bob Hawke has his own beer, yes we’re serious, and yes you should probably take it for a spin (once or twice—who’s judging?).
