Our Take
Sydney's World-Ranked 1950s Cocktail Bar
Maybe Sammy has been ranked in the World's 50 Best Bars list for years. The room is committed to its 1950s Sammy Davis Jr theme — pastel pink, leather banquettes, dim warm lighting, swing music at quiet volume. Andrea Gualdi and Stefano Catino run the cocktail programme.
The cocktails are technically precise. The Sammy Sour is the signature. The Brandy Mood is built around aged Australian brandy. The seasonal menu rotates regularly with thoughtful original cocktails alongside reliable classics.
The crowd is mid-thirties Sydney cocktail enthusiasts and visiting cocktail tourists. Pair with The Baxter Inn for a complete Sydney world-ranked cocktail evening.
