Burrow Bar

Burrow Bar sits in a basement on Clarence Street in the heart of the Sydney CBD. A characterful underground cocktail bar, it's earned a strong reputation — the kind of cosy, atmospheric, in-the-know spot that rewards seeking out, descending below street level into a snug, characterful space devoted to expertly made drinks.

The appeal is that combination of quality, creative cocktails, a cosy, atmospheric basement setting and the sense of discovery that comes with a hidden city bar, ideal for after-work drinks, a date or a special night out. Its intimate, characterful space and serious approach to drinks have made it a beloved fixture of the Sydney bar scene.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 650 reviews, it's clearly delivering on both the drinks and the atmosphere. Cocktail lists, any food, opening hours and any booking arrangements vary, and a popular small bar fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details before you go — particularly if you're heading out with a group or want to settle in on a busy night in this cosy, characterful underground spot.
