This little cocktail bar is a pocket of 1950s style boasting an impressive and inventive cocktail list. A solid offering of bar snacks is also on the menu, but we'd suggest going elsewhere if you want to get a dinner-sized fill. Take advantage of their happy hour cocktails before dinner, or stumble in here to end the night with a classy nightcap.

I organised to have a birthday party here and it took a lot of effort to reserve the booth. When we arrived the staff told one of my guests that they were required to spend a total of $600 on food and drink because I had reserved the area, which I found quite rude and embarrassing. They hadn't communicated this to me when I had booked the area. They also chucked a gratuity fee on top of the $800 that we had already spent that I found out about the next morning.
Overall the atmosphere was great and the cocktails were fantastic, but if you are going to book make sure you get all the information. I basically felt like I was being punished for wanting to have my party here, and it made my guests want to move on to another bar quicker.

Fantastic little bar with some of the best cocktails Sydney has to offer. Living in the area my girlfriend and I finally decided to check this place out and we were much more than satisfied. Hinky dinks has a wonderful atmosphere with a fantastic cocktail menu and the staff we encountered were extremely warm the bar tender even kindly offered to hang my coat up for me. Would be great for a first date!

Very cool little bar. The retro wooden tables, bench seating, and bar stools are flash, if a bit forced. The cocktails are thoughtful and delish (I went on Bastille Day and they had French-themed food and drink on for cheaper prices than their regular menu!).
Staff are very attentive, friendly, and professional, not too laid-back. They do increase the hipster ratio, though.
Not a big place, so get in early.
Now open on Sunday arvos from 1pm.
Drink specials every day, and a good munching menu.
A trendy, but quality, bar.

Quiet Sunday night. For great reviews it seemed to be mostly locals. Matt the bartender was extremely helpful. The cocktails and food were good. There were two of us and a 10% service charge was automatically included. I'm not sure if this is standard or related to us ordering food.

Great vibe and cocktails! This places has only been up and running for seven months but it has hit the ground running! 1950's feel, the fit out and music are suberb the owners have done a fantastic job! But nothing beats the cocktails with the Faulty Sour and Blood & Sand my favourites!

Hinky Dinks brings back Mad Men-esque 60's cool, with relaxed surroundings and a cocktail menu strong enough for a 1960's advertising executive. I've been here on a number of occasions. It's a great location for a first date or catching up with friends. The biggest surprise for me was the quality of their food. I went to a degustation ($55 with matching wines which was a steal!) and all five courses were phenomenal. They have taken a high end approach to bar snacks, and I certainly didn't leave hungry.
I can't recommend Hinky Dinks highly enough. Their staff are friendly and very knowledgeable, and the atmosphere is chilled and welcoming.

Great cocktails and delicious Americana fare! If you love your old-fashion coctail definitely come and try it here!
Plenty of room to relax and hangout with your friends in their comfy booth style seat or perch yourself up on a barstool and watch an expert concocting your favourite tipple!
