Such a hidden treasure!
If you’re keen on searching a building for a secret bar then this one is right up your alley!
Lovely bar with lots d greenery and a lengthy menu. Really nice staff who will make you any drink under the sun...would highly recommend!!
Great bar that's hidden away on the top level of an old building. We were there during the day, so there were no issues with line ups or anything like that. I really enjoyed the cocktails, sometimes with these bars the atmosphere is cool but the drinks not so great. I have to say though Old Mates place ticked both boxes. Really cool set up, and great cocktails. I recommend 'The Lady Killer', very refreshing cocktail. The roof top seemed to be the popular location, which is where we were, but I have to say the ambience and set up downstairs was also very relaxed, and I would have happily sat there and enjoyed some drinks. Overall positive experience, good drinks, cool bar, and I must say some of the friendliest bar staff I have come across in Sydney.
Because Sydney doesn’t have enough speakeasies, we’ve been gifted another. In true prohibition style, this hard-to-find bar requires some orienteering skills to uncover. After navigating a boring office building foyer, grab the lift to level four. Then on the other side of a nondescript door is an adorable alcoholic wonderland.
Split over two levels, downstairs you drink your poison of choice in an ornate, candlelit, leafy library. But head up the stairs and you’ll find a rooftop bar that offers some pretty jaw-smackingly good views of the city skyline. There’s also a small food menu of snacky things like cheese, charcuterie and cheese steaks.
There’s a lot to like about the place owned by old mate.
