Tio's Cerveceria

Tio's Cerveceria sits on Foster Street in Surry Hills, one of Sydney's most characterful and drink-loving inner-city suburbs. A much-loved cerveceria and bar, it's a genuine Surry Hills institution — combining a fantastic range of tequila, mezcal and Mexican-inspired drinks with a fun, characterful, hole-in-the-wall atmosphere, the kind of beloved, in-the-know spot that's become a real fixture.

The appeal is that combination of a brilliant tequila-and-mezcal offering, well-made Mexican-inspired drinks and a lively, characterful atmosphere in a great Surry Hills location, ideal for a drink with friends, a date or a fun night out. Its quirky, spirited character and serious drinks have made it a genuine favourite, and Tio's has clearly won over a devoted following.

With a 4.5 rating from more than 800 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved spot. The drinks list, any food, opening hours and events vary, and a popular, characterful bar gets busy on weekends, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a quality tequila or mezcal and a great atmosphere, it's often just a matter of dropping in at Tio's in Surry Hills.
