You can set aside the pastoral images the name most likely conjured up, at least until you get to the outdoor section at Arcadia Liquors. Although categorized as a small bar, it is not quite as tiny as some of the others to be found in the Redfern area of Sydney. The cocktail list features all the usuals, and the Manhattan and White Lady are particularly well done. The courtyard, with all its greenery, is most people's first choice when it comes to seating, and is the bar's smoking area as well. The bar offers a few nibbles, but if you want something more filling, you can always order Chinese BBQ from the restaurant across the street.

Nestled in the very center of Sydney's bustling CBD area, Mojo Record Bar is a small and cozy bar on the basement level behind a record store.
