Best Things To Do In Sydney August 2014
Sydney has an eclectic range of bars, shops, restaurants and exhibitions, so you’ll never be short of things to do during your visit! Here are our picks for the best things to do in Sydney this August 2014.
Hinky Dinks
Head down to Hinky Dinks, a kitsch small bar situated in Darlinghurst, for innovative cocktails back to the 1950s. The bar embodies the spirit of the ‘50s cocktail culture, when as well as a drink, it had become a staple fashion accessory opposing the norm. You can expect to indulge in Hinky Fizz, a concoction of Bombay Sapphire, Saint Germain and strawberry & prosecco sorbet, or the Madagascar Manhattan, combining vanilla & citrus peel infused bourbon with sweet vermouth, agave syrup and chocolate bitters with a cherry on top!
185 Victoria Road, Darlinghurst

Pocket Street Food
Go back to basics and grab some street food from Pocket.

Sitting within the Darlinghurst area, the decorative front gate to the animated walls and fully stocked bar put Pocket a level above the rest, so step inside and let its uber cool character wash over you.
