Sydney Bar Week 2015

Overview

Sydneysiders are serious about their bar culture, so it's no surprise that Sydney Bar Week is a thing. A glorious, glorious thing. With a program ranging from industry-oriented events like the Bartender of the Year Award to the more casual Global Whisk(e)y Expedition, you'll find something to interest to you.

The festival starts off with a bang. Nine veteran bartenders (with over 200 years of combined experience) will be pouring vintage cocktails at a one-off event at The Barber Shop. And why not engage in an Indie Tasting? More than 50 boutique brands will be exhibiting their spirits and you'll also get nine short seminars about different spirits from American gin to craft rum.

If none of those sound fun enough to you, we'd suggest the Pool Competition and Handball Tournament at the Oxford Tavern. Show up, and show them who's the school (or bar) yard champ.
