Scott H: Finding Mojo record bar isn't too tricky but it's on the basement level, so be on the lookout for the double front doors decorated in vinyl records, to the right of the large '73' street number. He... Read more.
George Westcott: Another good basement bar. Not as pre pretentious as some of its competition.
Dennis Le: Reliably excellent bar for all occasions: fun music, cool crowd and friendly service. Go for the great tap beers or punchy cocktails on the sour side.
Daniel Cheah: Check out the 100 Squared Emerging Designer space on the basement level infront of La Senza.
BoyJupiter: Love the chilled basement level and the swish food court and restaurant precinct, but what's up with the suffocating, low-ceiling'd and tacky-shiny mid-levels? Terribad design is terribad. -_-
Tania Rahman: Amazing! The food court especially is incredible. Fresh, healthy food from ALL over the world. Spoilt for choice.
Alex Kirk: For everyone who likes basements, Star Wars, and who thinks 8-bits are plenty when it comes to arcade games.
National Geographic Traveller (UK): A basement bar with a fetish for goats, SG stands for Spooning Goats. Read more.
Tom Butler: The veal pie with tomato chutney, and the spinach and lentil pie with mango chutney are awesome. Love the decor too!

Darren Woolley: Eclectic basement cocktail bar with an interesting selection of cocktails. Worth checking out. A little piece of Melbourne Laneways in Sydney.
Ryan Harris: The Pink Pepper Martini is out of this world! Seriously, the best cocktail I've had in Sydney! Better than Blue Hotel, and that's saying something...

Ben Thomas: Another cool small bar in a CBD basement. This one focuses on a Latin American theme with plenty of rum. Grab a bowl of the banana chips as well!
Bill Dunk: Great rum cocktails. Perfect inner-city pre-dinner drinks.
Jessica Lavender: Ask JAY to make you a special scotch cocktail! You won't regret it... Also if you see me here, you owe me a drink!

Ivan Jan: Superb place! One of sydney's hidden gem. Thru an unmarked alley, queue at a back lane, get down the stairs to access to the basement, open the door and a complete whisky haven!
Omri Kl: There is a reason why it is one of the top bars in Sydney. Make sure to order whiskey / a whiskey based cocktail (if you don't know one, just ask the awesome bartenders)
TimeOut Sydney: Here, it’s all about wine’n’whisky’n’beer. Baxter also stock 360 different whiskeys with more to come. Pretzels are the complimentary snack of choice here. Read more.
