Mark RobinsonAugust 1, 2015Mai Thai is the bomb. Friendly staff. Cosy intimate place, definitely a date place. This place needs a bigger sign post!
P PPFebruary 17, 2015"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.
Darren WoolleyJuly 25, 2018Eclectic basement cocktail bar with an interesting selection of cocktails. Worth checking out. A little piece of Melbourne Laneways in Sydney.
Andre SAugust 16, 2014Great 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.
Jarryd MenezesFebruary 21, 2013Look 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!
BarChickAugust 19, 2013Get yourself a Corpse Reviver Blue containing absinthe, gin, lemon, blue curacao finished off with a dayglo mermaid accessory floating on the glass.
Tiki tiki. The old mai tai taken to another level and the presentation probably warrants an entrance free. Nicest bar staff in Sydney too.
John BoothJanuary 17, 2015Great for a late night drink, friendly staff and you have to try the mai Thai for a little bit of cocktail theatre.
Eylem AltuntasFebruary 4, 2017A very lovely, cozy place. Cocktails are very good. Try Ananas Express
Mads-Emil LarsenMay 17, 2017Nice lively mood even on an every day evening. Sub-par cocktails compared to similar priced / styled speakeasies in EU/US.
Rose JhangMay 5, 2018If you ever travel to Sydney, you must come check out this lovely place. The staffs are friendly and atmosphere is great.
James WilsonAugust 7, 2014Wonderful selection of cocktails each with a puntastic name. Bar staff are all lovely and even do table service!
Ryan HarrisFebruary 2, 2012The 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...
Jackson TsaiJanuary 21, 2015You get the feel as if your visiting your grandmas house and she's serving up drinks, great spot!
Ashley HoweMarch 14, 2016Loved the vibe in here. Very laid back and not that busy from about 5.30pm-6ish
- Chung HoOctober 3, 2014Great little bar with delicious cocktails. Laid back and good for an easy night with friends.
Neel HajareJanuary 10, 2020Peanut butter colada was certainly interesting, but I’m not sure I’d order it again
Pink pepper martini. Fogcutter. Amaretto sour. Grandma's is my second home. Love this place and the wonderful guys who work here.
Scott DrummondAugust 3, 2011The Nuclear Daiquiri was recommended to me by a friend and I can say without reservation it is AWESOME. Try it - you might like it!
Adrian ArumugamJuly 31, 2011New stomping ground for cocktails! - Try the Mai Tai and Baron Samedi Brew......... thank me later.....
Sebastian OstmanFebruary 28, 2014Don't touch the Nuclear Daquari. Lives up to its name, and WILL destroy you.
