ivy Sydney

ivy is a multi-venue precinct at 330 George Street in Sydney CBD, bringing together bars, restaurants, pubs, clubs, event spaces and a small collection of retail businesses. Rather than being one stand-alone bar, it offers several ways to shape a night in the city, from an early drink or dinner through to late-night music and dancing. The precinct is open from 7.30am until late on weekdays, with later starts on Saturday and Sunday, according to its website.

The food and drink options cover a broad range of styles. Ash St. Cellar focuses on European-influenced dining and wine, while Felix serves classic French fare in a brasserie setting. Bar Totti’s pairs Italian drinks and cocktails with straightforward food, and uccello draws on Italian flavours, local produce and traditional cooking methods. For something different, Jimmy’s Falafel offers Middle Eastern-inspired plates, pitas and drinks, while MuMu combines South-East Asian street food with cocktails in a venue aimed at late-night dining and drinks.

The bars and pubs give the precinct a varied set of moods. Bar Topa is an intimate tapas and pintxos spot suited to an aperitivo before dinner or a show. JAM Record Bar is a compact, music-focused venue with 15,000 vinyl records, Japanese-influenced snacks and cocktails. Little Felix takes a French-style cocktail-bar approach, and The Royal George has an English-pub setting with pool and sport on offer. Jimmy’s Rooftop is designed for drinks with friends as the day winds down, while the ivy nightlife offering brings together multiple venues, DJs, live music, dancefloors and entertainment.

There is also a strong events focus, with spaces including ivy Ballroom, Sunroom, Penthouse, Level 1 and Level 2. These range from a rooftop setting and a large ballroom to more intimate, cocktail-oriented rooms, making the precinct relevant for private parties and larger celebrations as well as casual nights out. The broader site includes Oti’, The Bottle Shop, Palings Flowers and a George Street coffee shop, adding daytime and takeaway uses beyond the evening bar scene.

For visitors, Wynyard is the closest train station; the site directs guests to use the George Street exit, with the precinct reached via Palings Lane. Circular Quay is about a 15-minute walk away. With its concentration of dining, drinking, nightlife and event spaces, ivy suits groups wanting several options in one location, friends planning a late night, and visitors looking to move from dinner into entertainment without leaving Sydney CBD.
