The Best Spring Bars in Sydney
Sydney's greatest bars that bring the outside in and serve up something spritzy.
The sun is out, but not all the way out. The wind has a chill, but it's no longer so bitter. When it comes to drinks with your buds, you'll want to sit outside sometimes and duck inside sometimes, and you'll want to be somewhere that does both well.
Here are Sydney's greatest bars that bring the outside in and serve up something spritzy. We've also included the best and brightest new openings that so suit the season.
