Maybe Sammy has carried Sydney cocktail scene onto the world stage, regularly ranked among the best bars anywhere, and it wears the acclaim lightly. The Rocks room channels 1960s Palm Springs glamour, the bartenders put on a genuine show and the drinks are precise and theatrical. It gets deservedly busy. Arrive early in the evening for a seat at the bar where the action is, let the team steer you towards something off-menu, and dress a touch smart to match the room.
