One of Sydney’s first small bars, you still want to shove this cocktail powerhouse in your pocket. It has all the ingredients for a fun, relaxed, good time: street art, slouchy couches and some serious mixologists behind the swizzle stick.
The inventive, freewheeling cocktail menu runs the gamut from fun spritzers to hefty late-night cocktails. Try the Darlinghurst Rollerblading Club – a cocktail of raspberries, lime, Bombay Sapphire, honey and PX sherry.
Food isn’t forgotten either with a selection of cheeses, meats and small shares, such as cheeseburger spring rolls, polenta truffle fries and veggie nachos.
I really had a pleasant time in Pocket Bar, it has a really nice vibe and jam. The interior is unique with all interesting murals, I really love the way they combine some vintage furniture with pop art culture, there are also some cool stuff like Lego head lamp and cactus neon lamp on the wall.
The staffs were also amazing, they also will ask you about any allergen before you ordering some food. If you can't decide what to choose on drinks, you can also ask their recommendation, I have this non-alchohol pinacolada because I preferred the sweet one, this was super refreshing.
For the food, we got the meat and cheese platter with sliced fruit, tomato relish, pickles and guava jelly. We also got Bahn Mi sliders, super tender an juicy pork belly (which being cooked for long hours, that's why it was sooo tender) with salad plus a little kick of chili and Polenta truffles fries (fried with truffle oil) with Parmesan cheese which were the bomb. Will definitely revisit this place again.
We were here just for a drink before dinner and even in the short amount of time we were here, we liked the atmosphere and the friendliness of the staff. I would definitely come back here for drinks and some food next time we are in the area.
Went on a Wednesday evening around 8pm and found pocket bar to be a popular place to go for a few quality cocktails and some nibbles/dinner. My favourite was the Darlinghurst Rollerblading club which had the raspberry on top, the watermelon martini and Malibuyah were also well blended. Service was prompt, friendly and knowledgeable.
Had a fantastic experience at Pocket Bar Sydney. I booked here for my partner's surprise bday party, and living in Melbourne meant that I had to organise everything remotely. The staff were incredibly helpful and booking was a breeze! The chef accommodated for all the allergies and dietary requirements for my friends with no hesitation and the food (we ordered from the canape menu) tasted amazing - not to mention, more than we could actually finish. We loved the Cheeseburger Spring Rolls, Beef fillet with chimichurri, the truffles and Sliders. The drinks were amazing, and the service was fantastic and everyone was so helpful. We stayed till the place closed, and we loved vibe in the place. We all had a great time and definitely will be back next time we're in Sydney!
I love this place! I've walked past here many time before but I had no idea they even existed.
The place is dimly lit, and cool as a cucumber! The mural on the wall is sick and those leather sofas make the place look so swanky.
I didn't see any beer on tap so I ordered a cocktail (cocktail bar so obviously ordering a cocktail).
Tbh I cant remember what they were, but I remembered enjoying the drinks and had a great time there.
Pocket bar is a great little bar just off Oxford St with great drinks, service and ambiance. The drinks menu is very extensive and the cocktails are fabulous. I ordered a Bless Up, which was served in a can, how awesome! I loved the flavour combinations in this drink. The service was really fantastic and attentive. I highly recommend Pocket bar for its unique design and drinks, bring a few mates and you'll have a great evening here. I will be back!
The service was incredible, seriously would go back just for the awesome service. Everyone was absolutely lovely and patient. Not only that, but Pocket Bar gives off seriously cool vibes with just as amazing music. Like really, the music was incredible enough to get a mention.
Go there for pre or post dinner drinks, chill out, catch up with friends, and just all round have a good time. They also have quite a few food options too if you’re feeling peckish. Just went with some rose and had a jolly good time.
Pocket Bar is one of several establishments run by the Pocket Group. Located towards the Surry Hills end of Darlinghurst, and just around the corner from the ever bustling Oxford Street. Walk in, and you get a sense of Pocket Bar's personality. A collection of eclectic furnishings and fittings, there's bar seating, booths and lounges. A place for everyone.
Cool spot to come for a drink that seemed a little bit more mellow than Shady Pines, which is right around the corner. It was a place where you could actually have a conversation without yelling.
The Moscow Mule my gf got could definitely have been a little stronger and could have included some mint. Worth it to pop in some time for a few drinks.
What a great buzz! This place has an electric feel with friendly bar staff, great music and welcoming ambience. There is a HUGE selection of drinks as well as complimentary, alternative drinks menu. We ordered the cheeseburger spring rolls which came out semi frozen but the reaction of the bar staff was awesome - they ordered replacements immediately and then plied us with liquor as an apology. The replacement rolls were amazing - thanks for looking after us!
Stumbled upon this delightfully warm and quiet bar while it was raining outside and it couldn’t have been better. Such friendly service - the bartenders were easy to talk to and very helpful. It’s quite dim but it’s all part of the inviting ambience. Definitely recommend this place!
Have you ever had a cocktail that taste so yum that you wanted to slap your mumma???
A splendid selection of cocktails at a fair price :)
My selection was the espresso martini...
It was delicious!
Would I go back?? Hell Yeah!!
We attended this establishment as part of our friends annual gentlemans evening. We only stopped in for a quick drink the friendly barman recommended this drink (some sort of iced tea cocktail) it was delicious and fragrant. Could have drunk them all night! Very trendy and cool would recommend giving it a try if in the area!
Fantastic cocktail bar. Low key but with great service. A slice of Melbourne in Sydney.
Always loved this bar. Lovely ambience and setup inside with a decent range. I preferred the old name though. Simpler.
The place live up to it name of being an excellent cocktail bar. The bar men and women were very good with the service. The food is all vegetarian but they add some creativity by keeping the name same as their meat counterpart but switching up the meat with a plant ingredient.
I like this place. I'm not normally a cocktail drinker but my wife is and she said the cocktails are really good. I was catered for with a choice of bottles, including a mystery beer of the week. Great decor.
