This route is designed for groups of adventurers and cocktail enthusiasts who want to soak in a mix of vibes—from cozy, nostalgic saloons to exciting rooftop escapes. Each stop brings its own unique energy, drawing you into world-class drinks and that lively social scene that makes Sydney’s nightlife so special. We start with the warm, soulful feel of an intimate New Orleans-inspired saloon, then move to a buzzing martini spot full of creative twists and friendly faces. After that, we hit a lively pub with craft brews and hearty food to keep things going, before ending at a spirited two-storey Irish pub with rooftop fun and live vibes. Together, these spots create a night full of bold flavors, dynamic settings, and moments you won’t forget in Darling Harbour.
Kick off your evening at Earl’s Juke Joint, where New Orleans grit blends with Newtown’s cool charm. This saloon-style spot sets the vibe with its rugged brick walls and funky 90s hip-hop tunes, sparking great chats over expertly mixed cocktails that get the night buzzing.
The next stop is a quick, lively stroll down King Street, keeping the excitement rolling as you head to the next cocktail gem.
Bar Planet takes things up a notch with its focus on martinis and artistic touches, like those eye-catching mosaic tables. The creative cocktails and welcoming vibe make it a go-to for anyone wanting to connect and enjoy innovative drinks.
The next spot is just a short walk to the Courthouse Hotel, giving you a chance to soak in the growing energy along the way.
Stop by the Courthouse Hotel for some solid fuel with its rustic charm, craft brews, and delicious burgers. The spacious beer garden and energetic interiors create a fun space to hang out, play games, and recharge before the final stop.
The next destination is a brisk, upbeat walk back towards King Street, setting you up perfectly for the night’s big finish.
Wrap up the adventure at Kelly’s on King, a lively two-storey Irish pub with a rooftop courtyard. Its classic pub feel, standout cocktails, and vibrant live events make for an exhilarating end, ideal if you’re in the mood to keep the party alive.
