Shady Pines Saloon
Tipping its cap to old-school American cowboys, Shady Pines Saloon is a low-lit basement bar famed for its whiskeys, craft beers and sarsaparilla. Often hailed as one of the best cocktail bars in Sydney, this place is an absolute must if you're craving a signature sip. Its eccentric decor includes vintage taxidermy, an antique bar and plenty of trinkets. Visit for date night or a casual, yet cool, drink with friends and check out the likes of the Lottie Deon, made with gin, lillet blanc and watermelon, or the vodka and pink grapefruit-based Pink Star, for $25 each.
