What people say
hidden gem for a relaxed drink. The lighting is warm and moody. perfect atmosphere to settle in and unwind. Their signature cocktail is a standout and clearly crafted with care.
The Doss House is an absolute must visit for anyone in or visiting Sydney! It has unbeatable vibes with its candle lit decor and speakeasy energy! The toasted sandwiches are out of this world and as for the Guinness, it's hard to find a better pint in Sydney! The staff are absolutely amazing and are always so attentive, even when it gets busy! With the snacks and drinks on offer and their live music line up it's hard to find a better spot to spend an evening!
We stopped by the Doss House for cocktails and were blown away. We ordered a passion fruit margarita, a raspberry margarita, and an espresso martini. Every single drink was an 11/10. I know that sounds like an exaggeration, but it truly isn’t. Each cocktail was perfectly balanced, flavorful, and clearly made with care. On top of that, the hospitality was outstanding. Lulu was incredibly sweet, helped us decide what to order, and made us feel genuinely welcomed and at home from the moment we arrived. Great drinks paired with warm, thoughtful service made this a fantastic experience. Highly recommend stopping here for cocktails! If you want it shorter or even more enthusiastic, I can tweak it to match the exact vibe you’re going for. 🍸✨
The best bar in Sydney! The live entertainment we experienced on the weekends here is the amazing. The staff here are truly first class. They are beyond accommodating. Absolute first class. We always look forward to coming back here. THE BEST pint of Guinness in Sydney
Amazing find! We’re from the Gold Coast and this is what we’re missing. A gorgeous well set out whisky bar somehow right where you need it but once you’re in there you’re transformed to another place and away from the hustle n bustle, with an awesome vibe, great music, and some fabulous drinks!! Thank you 🙏🏻
