Double Deuce Lounge

Contemporary$

There’s no better nightcap in the city than DD’s minty, boozy, Fernet-Branca-buzzing Stinger.

Sydney’s favourite 70s-inspired lounge bar continues to deliver the hits, whether that’s the heavy duty Walk of Shame (gin, vodka, Vegemite and a saltine garnish – served short and drunk long) or the Sea Breeze (vodka, grapefruit, cranberry, lime leaf, soda – served tall, drunk fast). Grab a booth and order a bowl of cabanossi, cheese cubes and Jatz tossed in house-made chicken salt.
