Why it's worth checking out
PS40 sits on Skittle Lane off King Street in the heart of the Sydney CBD. A celebrated cocktail bar — known for its house-made sodas and inventive, craft approach to drinks — it's become a beloved fixture of the city's bar scene, the kind of characterful, in-the-know spot that rewards seeking out down a city laneway.
The appeal is that combination of genuinely inventive, expertly made drinks — including its signature house sodas — and a relaxed, characterful laneway setting, ideal for after-work drinks, a special cocktail or a memorable night out. Its creative, craft-focused approach sets it apart, and it's earned a strong reputation among Sydney's bar-goers.
With a 4.7 rating from more than 600 reviews, it's clearly delivering on both the drinks and the atmosphere. Drinks lists, any food offering, opening hours and booking arrangements vary, and a popular city 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 characterful laneway spot.
