Palmer & Co.

Palmer & Co. sits on Abercrombie Lane in the heart of the Sydney CBD, tucked into one of the city's atmospheric laneways. A much-loved speakeasy-style cocktail bar, it's a genuine city favourite — combining expertly made cocktails with a fun, characterful 1920s-inspired atmosphere, the kind of in-the-know, hidden-gem spot that's become a real fixture of Sydney's bar scene.

The appeal is that combination of quality cocktails, a lively, atmospheric speakeasy setting and a hidden laneway location, ideal for a quality drink, a date, a sociable night out or a fun, characterful evening with friends. Its prohibition-era charm and well-made drinks really stand out, and Palmer & Co. has clearly won over a big, loyal following.

With a 4.4 rating from more than 1,500 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved spot. The drinks list, any food, opening hours and events vary, and a popular city bar gets busy on weekends, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a quality cocktail and a fun, atmospheric night out, it's often just a matter of finding Palmer & Co. on Abercrombie Lane in the city.
