A popular cocktail bar in the evenings, Since I Left You has recently opened it’s doors for the city lunchtimes with their offering of ‘The Tuckshop’. Here you will find daily specials, with Kombucha, and delicious eating options to curb your hunger. This small and hidden spot screams fun with the comfy seating, board games in the corner, graffiti art and fun music. The high ceiling, and metal finish ceilings gives all the best of industrial vibes to this cafe/bar which paired with the exposed brick gave Nirry inspiration for his home office.
Cool little spot in the CBD offering daily specials throughout the week. They have a great concept which reflects going to 'tuckshop' back in the day. The food concepts are great too, the Danish pelse (available Wednesday) along with the spicy salmon poke bowl were the stand outs for me. The idea of buffalo chicken waffles was great, but flavour wise they missed the mark, lacking some flavour, as did the Mac n cheese toastie. Overall it's a great spot and by night it's also a bar, I'll be sure to head back and check it out.
Since I left You or SILY now does lunch. You can opt for a healthy poke bowl or something a little more naughtier like the cheeseburger toasties or their delicious reuben sandwich. If you work close by it’s a no-brainer for your lunch option. #sily #reubensandwhich
Nice place to meet friends, the music is good and staff are all very nice, we love the snacks a lot, the cocktail and brandy all very nice, will surly come again.
One of my favourite bars in Sydney - Since I Left You - has a rustic touch to it. This place is a gem in the summers - doesn’t get too crazy busy - once you are in you won’t want to leave in a hurry. Beer or wine or perhaps a cocktail - you can have it all!
Since I Left You (SILY) used to be my best kept secret bar down one of the alleys of the Sydney streets. With a creative cocktail menu and great selection of beers, I’ve wandered in then stumbled out many a time. Only now did I actually realise they’re also open for lunch! Combine that with their awesome cocktails and you have your boozy mid-week lunches sorted. On this occasion, we put our trust in the awesome staff for their personal recommendations.
‘Watch the stepsGet a drink, have a good time nowWelcome to paradise, paradise, paradise’. Does the opening line of The Avalanches’ debut studio album ‘Since I Left You’ have anything to do with the small bar of the same name in Sydney CBD? Get a drink and have a good time is what you can expect when you find this hidden laneway bar tucked away on Kent Street.
I've been enjoying the inspiration of Hey You lunch specials of late and this small bar seems to have some interesting and tasty options at a reasonable price. SILY Smoked Reuben - Smoked Wagyu, Sauerkraut, Russian Dressing and Le Superbe Swiss Gruyère Cheese. Served with a side of Cornichons ($9.75 with 25% Hey You special, normally $13) was good. Cut up into smaller finger sizes can make it a little more awkward to eat but I guess handy if sharing as a bar snack. There's noticeable smokiness in the wagyu and the swiss gruyere cheese is a winner.
Since undergoing a rebranding, Since I Left You celebrates its 7th Birthday with some fresh, new additions to the lunch menu. At first glance, the offerings seem to be a confused mix of items taking inspiration from a plethora of cultures – Hawaiian poke bowls, Middle Eastern “Wafflafel” pita pockets, American cheeseburger toasties and Mexican quesadillas (from a waffle iron, and coined a “Waffledilla” of course). For some reason, however, this eclectic assortment of dishes seems to work in their favour. A fun, vibrant menu, which is a bit of fun, a little bit SILY, and refreshingly different from your typical slick, inner-city watering hole.
Fell in love with this place! A beautiful and unique atmosphere, with great cocktails and food that matches perfectly! The cheese and caramelised onion toastie and the trio of dips was delicious. If you love cinnamon, the Little Grace cocktail is a definite must.
This is such a popular bar. We arrived at 6 and it was fully booked. So we went again at around 9pm and finally got a table.
It is pitiful for us for missing the live band on that evening.
We truly love the atmosphere here. The cocktails are nice and people here all friendly.
We will find another time to revisit SILY and next time we will book in advance!
Friendly staff and cool space. Drinks are good and prices are fair. I'm not sure if they serve any food as I just went for drinks but I'll definitely go back for some cocktails.
Nice cosy place! Food are great. Perfect place to go for Friday lunch with colleagues. One of our colleagues food was delayed and she went to ask how long she'll have to wait. Her meal was delivered within few minutes with a credit to be used for next time, no fuss. What a great service!
A nice vibe to the place. Nachos was good too.
Cosy Lane courtyard with live music, casual menu and good cocktails
One of my favourite bars in Sydney. It’s a great find! Love the ambiance, fairy lights in the courtyard, amazing decor, great ambience, friendly and helpful service, great list of cocktails and food options. Highly recommend it.
Awesome and funky bar with an indoor area as well as a courtyard nestled in between office buildings. Great cocktails, good choice of beer and wine, and the food is delicious. Hardest part is finding a seat in the courtyard on a nice and warm day, but once you do you can settle in and enjoy all it has to offer!
