After opening up one of Darlinghurst's first small bars, Pocket, and soon after making a move to the CBD with Stitch, it would make sense that the next bar for this successful team would be called Button. Behind an unmarked door on Foveaux Street in Surry Hills, you'll find a small place that's been given a bit of a pirate ship theme. Slide into a leather booth and you'll be surrounded by plenty of timber, hanging lanterns and even rum barrels. It might be tempting to go for the pirate's favorite, but steer yourself towards something from the excellent cocktail list.
Located in the Darlinghurst neighborhood of Sydney, this amazing bar-cum-nightclub, proves to be the ultimate spot for hanging out on weekends. Unlike a typical nightclub, with dance floor and maddening lights, this one is much more sober, and remains perfect for those who don't like it too loud. With a range of music genres being played on the system, the club also hosts live music events and performances. A small dance floor with water effects adorns the center of Cliff Dive, while the bar remains to be humble and unpretentious. Tropical style cocktails are served in monkey-hatted containers, along with a range of other high spirits. Drop by with a bunch of friends, to enjoy the night, or just make some, whilst grooving on the amazing songs.
Sydneysiders may recall the golden era when the Beer Baron was in operation, delivering alcohol after hours on his bike. Unfortunately, but perhaps predictably, he was shut down, but has returned with beer in a more traditional sense: with his own bar. Conveniently close to Redfern Station, it’s probably the only time you’ll want to use "friendly" and "dive bar" in the same sentence. It’s all exposed brick walls, mix-matched vintage furniture and bucketloads of charm. It’s also the only place in town where you can get an infamous Skittlebrau - a beer with a handful of Skittles added. -Kashmir Brummel

Hidden away in an old garage, off Kent Street, Papa Gede's is a little corner that will transport you to N'awlins in a jiffy. There are plenty of New Orleans elements in the decor - replete with candle-lights and voodoo dolls. The bar program is just as impressive as the rest of the place - along with the usual suspects, beers, spirits, wines, they serve a range of fun concoctions that are pleasing and potent. But the hero (or should we say, the heroine) on the menu is absinthe that's served the traditional way - with sprinklers and sugar cubes. All in all, Papa Gede's Bar makes for good night, one that you wont be forgetting any time soon (or perhaps, won't remember at all).
