Sydney's Best Retro Spots for When You're Feeling Nostalgic

The question isn't just where to go, it's which era to spend time in.

The Baxter Inn

A cavernous whisky bar where the bartenders know their stuff and good times are at the top of the agenda.

Frankie's - CLOSED

Part dive bar, part New York-style pizza parlour, part blast from the past in the form of 80s metal.

Mr. Wong

A classic CBD eatery loved for its dim sim, mud crab and vintage setting.

Kittyhawk

Combining a French military aesthetic with an end of war party vibe and a bar stocked with over 900 spirits expect banging cocktails.

Spice Temple

Spice Temple pushes Chinese cuisine to new heights without losing traditional flavours.

Palmer & Co.

A hidden, but well-known, cocktail bar reminiscent of Sydney's notorious past of speakeasies, sly grog and razor gangs.

Restaurant Hubert

High-class French food in a subterranean space on Bligh Street, where the steak is the stuff of legend.

The Lord Nelson Brewery Hotel

Sydney’s oldest continually licensed hotel and home of Australia's oldest pub brewery.
