Why it's worth checking out
The Nocturne sits on Crown Street in Surry Hills, one of Sydney's liveliest inner-city suburbs. A near-perfect 4.9 rating across 141 reviews — a remarkable score for that many — marks it as a genuine standout.
The appeal is a stylish, characterful bar with a devoted following — a lovely spot for a cocktail, a drink and a relaxed evening, the kind of venue that rewards those in the know. Its Crown Street location, in the heart of buzzing Surry Hills, makes it easy to fold a visit into a wider night out.
Drinks lists, events and trading hours at bars change over time, and it gets busy on weekends. Check current details directly with the venue, and consider arriving early or booking where possible to be sure of a spot.
Spot Score
