Sydney’s inner city is packed with dynamic bars sprinkled throughout the CBD from pubs, whiskey bars, opium-den-inspired bars for dumplings and drinks. Add to this there are now dozens of new rooftop bars, many with fabulous vistas of the harbour but some of the quirky interesting bars are springing up in the inner city down hidden laneways all worth a visit.
