If you reckon you know a good cocktail when you taste one, back away from the Negroni and make a bee-line for Sydney’s latest temple of cocktails, Hinky Dinks.
Â
The only thing serious here is the knowledge behind each pour, so sit back and let the expert staff take you through a host of classics and originals that’s sure to send you spinning (in the good way).
Named after Michael ‘Hinky Dink’ Kenna, a corrupt Chicago politician who owned a bar and would give away drinks to the homeless in exchange for votes, it’s a little nod to the seedy gangster culture Darlinghurst was famous for…and the retro stylings pulled together by winning design group Luchetti Krelle complete the picture.
A fun place to while away the darker hours, there’s also a menu crafted by Leif Etournard, the man previously behind the awesomeness that is Onde, so it’s damned fine on the food front, too.
