Review The Midnight Special - Newtown

What an amazing place to have a cocktail and nibbles before dinner. All cocktails we ordered were spot on. Very friendly service with a funky atmosphere. Music is loud and vibrant. Loved it!

Neat small bar that is close to Newtown station. Staff seemed friendly and they had a pretty decent range of liquors. They have some comfortable lounges towards the rear of the venue, which could suit groups up to five and six people. Anything larger than that might be a little tricky. Would be an ideal place for small group catch ups, casual dates or a post dinner night cap.

I'm going 5 stars because this place is consistently great. Killer ale's and cocktails with great music. Fantastic vibe and friendly cool staff that add to the experience. Decor is cool and kitchy. A great place to see music. It may be Small but it stands tall. Above all the support live music and are keeping Sydney open. A great find.

We had some time to kill before we were to be seated at a restaurant nearby. We stumbled across this little bar and fell in love. Great ambience, selection of drinks and awesome bar service who were able to make the best recommendation for what we were feeling that evening.

One of the best cocktails bar I have ever been, definitely gonna come back 😻

Loud music cranked up and raucous bar service reminiscent of an American dive bar. The midnight special offers some inventive cocktails with used of smoky whiskeys definitely worth a visit.

Fantastic local bar that plays loud music. Love it and their cold pressed apple juice and whisky is awesome!

Nice atmosphere here, a good small place out of the way to spend the evening in. Pizza was really really good 100% recommend it and the staff were really friendly and genuine. Maybe a bit on the pricier side for most drinks but where in the city isn't? The apple juice mixed with your favourite spirit is good value and I would definitely get it again, in fact I did get it more than a few times that night! Only deducting a star as the music was a bit too loud to talk over and some seats were damaged and a bit on the dark side so we ended up moving tables.

Great atmosphere, awesome cocktails. Friendly bar staff. But the toilet is tad too freaky! Now you have to go just to check it out...�

My favourite bar in the inner west. Great music, atmosphere and awesome staff.

Popped in on a weekend from Melbourne and never wanted to leave. Friendly cocktail wizards and an awesome playlist & vibe. Try a Boulevardier or 3. Thank you!

Laid back, bad ass bartender and best PB&J hands down. Cheers

My favourite bar in Sydney! And best espresso martinis in town!

My local this place awesome vibe great tunes. The bar manager is excellent

It's Super Special, run by the best craziest people you could ever meet.

Staff where friendy and knew all about places to go and try out in Newtown, and the cocktails were next level amazeballs. Jalapeño shots were wet a great also. After talking to the staff had a tailor made cocktail. Didn't expect it. Smokey. Sweet, Smooth, and down right legit next level.
