New York's Hidden Cocktail Bar Attaboy Is Popping Up in Sydney and Melbourne
The Lower East Side bar makes it Down Under for two nights only.
Because we don't have enough incredible, intricately-made drinks on-hand at all times, New York cocktail bar Attaboy is taking a trip out to Australia to make a few concoctions for us. How thoughtful. Following in the footsteps of fellow NYC bar Please Don't Tell, which held a Melbourne pop-up last year, Attaboy will be doing two one-night-only residencies in our two biggest cities: at The Everleigh's Elk Room in Melbourne, and Dead Ringer in Sydney.
It's a sort of homecoming for bartender Sam Ross, who was a part of the Melbourne bar scene before he moved off to New York. He'll be mixing drinks with fellow bartenders Michael McIlroy and Otis Florence tonight (Wednesday, February 10) in Melbourne, and Monday, February 15 in Sydney. There are no bookings, but they'll be starting their rockstar shifts at 9pm — so get there early to secure a prime posi.
Attaboy, which has been a Lower East Side favourite since it opened in 2013, operates with no menu; the pro bartenders will make something that aligns with your taste or favourite spirit. So, head in with tasting notes — or an open mind.
Attaboy will pop up at The Everleigh's Elk Room from 9pm on Wednesday, February 10, and Dead Ringer on Monday, February 15 from 9pm. For more info, visit Attaboy's Instagram.
