Quite possibly my favourite bar in Sydney. Everything about this place makes you just want to relax and have a good time. The bartenders are always attentive and down for a chat but also aren’t over the top. Drinks are simply sensational. Divine intervention has been a long time favourite. Queen of cups is a must order. 10/10 recommend this spot.

Always a killa time whenever I'm here. Staff is so friendly, that you forget about all your stresses. Truly a paradise with cocktails. It's quite easy to find as well and it's like the light out of the tunnel to cocktail paradise. Drinks actually TASTE MAD!!! My favourite is The Zombie. I've had Buried Alive, Gunpowder and the Coup and they were all amazing. Quite possibly my favourite bar in Sydney! Oh, and sometimes, THERE'S A CUTE DOG!!! My dog passed away a year ago and it was so joyous to play with a dog again!!!

Great atmosphere and attention. It’s a hidden original jungle-ish decorated place. The cocktails were so nice to start the night. We had so much fun trying everything here!
The staff is very nice, they recommended us very rich drinks.
I’ll def go back! 🧡

We accidentally entered this bar. We love the atmosphere here. The interior decorations is cozy.
However The cocktail here is not our type. And the snack selection is very limited.
What annoyed us most is that some boring old man kept bothering us in this bar. They are guests as well so it is not the problem with the bar. But this really leaves us bad impression here.

What a gem! Amazing, creative original cocktails with story and heart. Their cocktail menu is amazing with art, and a backstory to each listed. The staff are responsive, and care about your experience and their craft.

It’s been 7 years since Baron Samedi’s spooky spectre gleefully grinned at me as I imbibed Papa Gedes potions; and his apparition has been haunting my dreams ever since.
The menu has changed, but the ambience is still the same.
Zombie’s used to finish the evening, now they begin it. I dodged the walking dead and went straight for :: The Second Coming :: Spiced and Gold rum co-mingling with a red wine reduction all froth and bubble with lemon and egg whites.
I’m glad to see Papa’s survived the pandemic; See you again in se7en Samedi!

What a cocktail bar! Booked a party of 10 for my wife’s birthday and we was all so well looked after from the moment we went in. Between us I think we went through the cocktail menu. My favourite was buried alive 2.0, to be honest every cocktail I had was epic! Great decor and and great selection of drinks. The bar staff were legends and were very attentive, I wish I could remember their names but the alcohol had took hold🤣
Will definitely be back soon! One of the coolest bars I’ve ever been too

We accidentally stumbled across this fun little gem and am so glad we did! Beautifuly decorated cocktail bar with an extensive list of experimental drinks with new ingredients I was not familiar with. The ambiance was exciting and the staff welcoming, would highly recommend.

Rating 3.5 Interest concept bar with a Voodoo theme. Interesting mix of cocktails and absinthe if you’re up for it. Not much to choose from on the food front to go with the drinks. But even the bread and crackling took ages. Service not the best.

Great attentive service and fantastic wine and cocktail list. I'll be back.
Justine Santiago
Amazing service guaranteed and they make you feel like family.

This place is cool and I love the ‘Day of the Dead’ decor but the Aperol Spritz was too watery - it was like it didn’t have any prosecco in it. The staff though are lovely. #papagedes
A Guide For Your Appetite
Great Drinks with a Gothic Theme<br/><br/>Visited this terrific, Gothic, Cool and funky bar on a Saturday Sydney Night out with another couple friends of ours.<br/><br/>The bar is quite small perhaps can fit 30 or 40 people however being that it is hidden between high buildings, this makes it the perfect secret bar.<br/><br/>This bar serves all cocktails and I did see a few wines and beer if cocktails aren't your thing, however as they say, when in Rome... Do as the Romans...<br/><br/>We had a lovely great night. There are about 5 pages of cocktails to choose from. Some with pictures. If you not sure what you want the very friendly and knowledgeable staff are there to recommend something for you if you give them some idea.<br/><br/>Strongly recommend a visit to this hidden Gem!

I stumbled upon this gem on a girl's night out, we instantly loved the 'Day of the Dead' style decor. We were also pleasantly surprised but how good the service was, both our waiter & the bar-men were very attentive, friendly & put a lot of thought into recommendations specifically for our group. The selection of cocktails we ordered were delectable & the bar food was amazing, in particular the spicy pork crackling - definately a 'must try.'

This hidden gem was stumbled upon on a night out. Small hidden bar in sydney cbd which made some awesome drinks with a bit of theatrics as well. Not sure what the flame on top of the drink did, but it was awesome!

This place surely has the friendliest staff in Sydney. Walking down the laneway to get to the bar, a group was just on their way out. They said to us: "that bar is awesome, you're going to love it" and they weren't wrong! The decor is very cool and we loved the New Orleans theme, the music was perfect - funky and just the right level for an atmosphere without being too loud to talk. Didn't try the food but the menu looked appetising. Will definitely becoming back here.

I would defiantly recommend this bar! Great atmosphere , lovely cocktails , and staff that really made you feel welcome . Loved the decor and dim lighting, made the zombie cocktail party even more impressive. Can't wait to go back !

Drinks there are dam good, maybe not for me to say since I am not a cocktale expert. But I can tell you for sure you will have fun night here.<br/>I tried almost all the cocktails on the menu, well sipped many from friend's glasses. None of them disappointed me. Reasonable price and very attentive service. Even the security guy at the front door is surprisingly friendly. I don find this common at other bars.<br/><br/>A go-to place for drinks after work.

Quirky little bar with the friendliest bar staff you could ever hope to meet. We came for a pre-dinner drink and were hard put to tear ourselves away. It was our grumbling stomachs that eventually pushed us out the door, away from our cosy little pew and seductively more-ish drinks.

This place is great! Found it on a whim in a back alley paved with old cobblestoney brick and wow, the staff are so great which I realise really makes a place. Because of the good vibes, everyone around you is friendly, drinks are delicious and affordable, and staff just keep doting on you in the most perfect way. Will be back for more, thank you!!
Simone Weid
Loved it!!! The cheese platter was great, service was awesome & the drinks were even better! For such a busy place we were instantly welcomed and seated. The barman was awesome, even mixing us a random cocktail. Could not rate this little out of the way bar highly enough. <br/>

A hidden gem with tiki-themed decor and cosy vibes. The staff are extremely friendly plus the cocktails are deelish! "Berried Alive" is one worth ordering.

Wow!!! This place is amazing.<br/>Kind of hard to find this bar but worth discovering. It has to be one of the coolest bars in Sydney, the staff are super friendly and make sure that everyone who enters this secret little den are looked after. The drinks are made to perfection, highly recommend the voodoo brew an awesome concoction to get the night started.<br/>You have got to check it out, we had the best night and can't wait to go back. <br/>This place has been a secret for too long, but the secrets out.
Mr Scotch
It's true. Super nice and friendly genuine staff. Good vibe. Not too loud. It's the kind of bar I'd like to own. It's a shame I have to leave to eat. But - food would probably ruin the dynamic.<br/><br/>Cheese and pretzels available.

Their staff are the nicest on the business. No cocky bar tenders here. Feels like your local. <br/>Can make any drink ever thought of to absolute perfection <br/>House cocktails are amazing as are the snacks. <br/>Good times is a guarantee weather it be Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday.

Friendliest bar in Sydney with great atmosphere and awesome cocktails. I particularly like the absinthe based specialties. My favourite bar by far.

This bar hides down a beautiful old cobblestone lane way, a small snapshot in to what life looked like many years ago. It was a good choice because upon walking in we discovered it was empty. Literally one other table inside at 5pm on a Friday. Taking this as a good sign, we went about ordering our drinks once the prompt and friendly staff came over to where we were seated to take our order. A bar that takes your order from your chair is a huge winner in my books since I am pretty lazy. They also came back after we finished our first drink to take our second order even though by then they were quite busy. There were some great choices of drinks on the menu and my fir

This hideaway is likely to attract people who are more interested in taking their time rather than downing beer after beer.
Melanie
Best bar in Sydney. Getting the right mix of atmosphere, awesome drinks and great banter is tricky but the crew at Papa Gede's have nailed it. The atmosphere is friendly with the staff being attentive but not overbearing. Drinks are mixed to perfection and the entire package is tied together with good music and great vibes. This is a bar that never disappoints and only get's better each time I visit.

New Orleans Style Bar. Its located at 346-348 Kent St (a little alleyway to the right of the building) where you will find this cosy New Orleans/voodoo inspired bar. It was previously a garage but with the way the owners have revamped this bar, it looks like it has been here for years. <br/><br/>The seating is quite spacious stools at the bar complete with lounges, bar stools and chairs, so a variety to pick from. <br/><br/>Cocktails range between $16-$19 with a tantalizing selection from the traditional Daiquiri (Hemingway style) to the Showchomp Sour (I think that's what it was called). <br/><br/>Throughout the night we kept getting complimentary popcorn, burger rings and what tasted like shapes biscuits! Between the 6 girls it kept disappearing as soon as it landed on the table! <br/><br/>The owners/bartenders are very attentive with our drinks and snacks, they were very helpful in relation to their cocktails and would check to see if we liked them :) Great hospitality~<br/><br/>If your looking for a new bar to check out or just need a new change of scenery, give Papa Gede's a go and you will not be disappointed!
