Bar Week is upon us in Sydney, and from 19th – 22nd September, the best bars in the city will be welcoming you with very special events and parties to celebrate the industry. From vintage cocktails to canapés, here’s where you should be heading to for Sydney Bar Week 2015.

The Barber Shop, York Street

On Saturday 19th, The Barber Shop is hosting a masterclass in vintage cocktails with some of Sydney’s veteran bartenders mixing up some classics. For $55pp, you get four cocktails, cured meats and a cheese board from 6-9pm.

Clubhouse, Rosebery

Clubhouse will put the focus on native Australian plants for a cocktails and canapés degustation on Sunday 20th. Using native herbs and spices and local distillers including 666 Vodka, Westwinds Gin, The Melbourne Gin Company and Beenleigh Rum, you can enjoy four cocktails and matching canapés for $60pp from noon – 3pm.

Earl’s Juke Joint, Newtown

One of the most hidden bars in Sydney, Earl’s Juke Joint is inviting you to Bartender Blackjack with Michter’s Whiskey and Aviation Gin. On Sunday 20th, a representative from each will be sharing great stories, drinks and tastings for an afternoon to remember – if you can find it!

The Standard Bowl & Middlebar, Taylor Square

The niceties are left at the door for Sunday’s Bartender Bumfight: a battle between 20 bartenders from 10 teams around Australia to make 10 classic cocktails using just their heads. With no recipe to follow, the bartenders will be judged on their creations in a knockout tournament of style, taste and pizzazz. Request an invite at www.facebook.com/cocktailcowboys
