Dennis LeAugust 15, 2014Swinging gin bar with live acid jazz band on Thurs. Seasonal cocktails menu, try the Pimm's and Shave & Tonic (G&T twist). $50 haircuts are pricey but come with friendly professionalism + house beer.- James FergusonJune 21, 2021A hidden bar with gin of all kinds from all over the world. Ask for their full menu which is biblical in size! Great cocktails in a cosy dim lit environment. Access via the barbershop on York Street.
- RyanJuly 26, 2017Directions: Enter on York to go in the front. Go up stairs through the silver door at the top. Quite easy actually. Back door is in the alley by Baxter Inn.
Kelvin WongJune 1, 2015I reckon of of the few legit speakeasy cocktail bars in Sydney that does everything right. Focus is on gin and they make really good cocktails with their selections too.
Terry JongAugust 21, 2015Overall good experience. Waitresses have a great attitude, but a couple of guys behind the bar not so much. Quite understaffed (or overpacked) on a Friday night so be prepared to wait for orders!
Does a bunch of cocktails suitable for grownup tastebuds, has a selection of bottled beers, likes to be known for their gin selection, only food is nibbles to accompany their drinks.
Sarah ConradJanuary 5, 2015Hard to find. Go in the barbershop and up the stairs. Slide the back door. Amazing cocktails!
Matt RowlesJuly 27, 2015Legendary bar staff. Midweek patrons are an interesting bunch, well worth visiting then. They don't do Brazilian waxes either after midnight or at all, I didn't press the question.
T.February 13, 2016Excellent gins, try Botanic Australis and Death's Door. But you have to find the place first!
Ivan JanJune 3, 2018Its literally in a barber shop. The barber shop is closed but look carefully and you will notice that the doors are unlock.
Morgan RagagninJune 19, 2015A hidden place in the heart of the city. Great choice of cocktails and spirits.
Alexandra LeiteSeptember 23, 2015How bars should be: loud, fun, solid and close to other bars: Baxter Inn after, please.
RolyseeRolydo CJanuary 10, 2018If you like Smokey flavours, give the Smoked Rosemary and Gin cocktail a go.
Jen YOctober 29, 2013Contrary to previous tips, there are free spiced corn nibbles and share platters available to purchase- ブルーノMarch 20, 2018Same alley of The Baxter Inn, different vibe. Here, gin is the main character and cocktails don’t disappoint.
Laura Bedson-DuqueMarch 2, 2018Awesome little bar, good atmosphere and nice selection of gin cocktails!
Jason ArruzzaSeptember 25, 2014Holy moly! For the first time since I moved to Australia in 15 years, a bartender finally bought me a drink.

George WestcottFebruary 29, 2016Great small bar. Always missed this one in favour of Baxters - now glad Iv got another alternative.
werner schwabeSeptember 14, 2014Have a shave and enter the back door. A new world comes to live. Great New York style bar back there.

Sydney’s first official bar ’n’ barber. Oh sure, you can get the occasional snip and schooner at Arcadia Liquors (which we love, by the by – there’s nothing better than beer and scissors) but this is a whole new proposition.
