Soultrap bar

Soultrap bar is an underground speakeasy beneath Surry Hills in Sydney, offering a more intimate setting than a typical open-plan bar. Its bare-brick space and tucked-away location give it a distinctive character, while the venue describes the atmosphere as warm, stylish and designed for memorable nights. It is open Tuesday to Saturday from 4pm until late, making it suited to an after-work drink, an evening out or a planned celebration.

The drinks list centres on handcrafted cocktails, including signature and innovative creations, with the website positioning the bar around considered flavours rather than a basic pour-and-go experience. For something to share, the menu includes gourmet grazing boards, alongside a Mediterranean food offering. The site does not publish the full menu in its directory content, so checking the current menu before visiting is the best way to see the available food and drinks.

Soultrap also has a strong events focus. Its themed programme includes comedy, burlesque and live music, giving the venue a reason to visit beyond its regular bar service. The space is available for private functions, from intimate gatherings and themed parties to special events and corporate functions. The venue says the bare-brick speakeasy can be transformed for different occasions, and recent Google reviews mention successful birthday celebrations, a university party and event support from the staff.

That makes Soultrap a natural fit for groups planning a birthday, private party or work function, as well as visitors looking for cocktails in a more atmospheric setting. Reviews frequently highlight welcoming staff, good service and a funky speakeasy feel. With a 4.5 Google rating from 370 reviews, it has established a solid local reputation, though its event nights and intimate format may appeal most to adults seeking drinks, entertainment and a social evening rather than a family-focused dining venue.
