    Mai Thai is the bomb. Friendly staff. Cosy intimate place, definitely a date place. This place needs a bigger sign post!

    "Well thymed" will blow your mind. (The lemon is eatable) Spare your stomach for jaffles. They're ever better than my mom's cooking. Nice & friendly staffs.

    Eclectic basement cocktail bar with an interesting selection of cocktails. Worth checking out. A little piece of Melbourne Laneways in Sydney.

    Great place! Come here on a Monday and have a chat with the owners. They're super friendly. The jaffles are super cool and the interior is quirky.

    Look out for the fender music ship. Head downstairs. If you come across the deer head, you are in the right place. Prepare to be mind blown!

    Tiki tiki. The old mai tai taken to another level and the presentation probably warrants an entrance free. Nicest bar staff in Sydney too.

    Great for a late night drink, friendly staff and you have to try the mai Thai for a little bit of cocktail theatre.

    Nice lively mood even on an every day evening. Sub-par cocktails compared to similar priced / styled speakeasies in EU/US.

    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...

    On-fire Mai Tai is $22 but kinda worth it. Cute menu, cool vibe.

    Peanut butter colada was certainly interesting, but I’m not sure I’d order it again
