Tipple Hour at Bar 1880
Pop in on a Tuesday–Friday night for $14 cocktails and $8 beers in the cosy, dimly lit, 19th-century surroundings of a former newspaper house.
Overview
Just before winter takes over completely, Bar 1880 at Circular Quay has come up with a very good reason to stay out after work. It's launched tipple hour.
Pop in on a Tuesday–Friday evening from 5–6pm and you'll be sipping on $14 cocktails and $8 beers in the cosy, dimly lit, 19th-century surroundings of a former newspaper house. More specifically, it's where The Bulletin — once one of Australia's most influential weeklies – was published in the 1800s.
Tipple hour presents an excellent opportunity to try Bar 1880's new cocktail list at budget-friendly prices. The star of the show is undoubtedly the Berry Necessary: an electric red blend of gin, Chambord, cranberry juice, raspberry syrup and citric acid, served with a good dose of razzle dazzle.
For a more comforting, cold weather-friendly creation, try the Golden Hour: a signature take on the Old Fashioned with burnt butter-infused bourbon, maple syrup and vanilla bitters. Then there's the Bitter Sweet Symphony, a smoky, caramelised interpretation of the negroni. Keep a look out, too, for the rotating monthly special.
