Old Love’s

Contemporary$

A cosy rum bar below Old Mate’s Place in Sydney.

Quite simply, this underground rum bar is just a bloody fun place to hang out. Like sibling boozer Old Mate’s in the same building, upstairs, the staff are some of the most charming in town, and if you want an education on the finer points of Guatemalan rum compared to Saint Lucian, say, this is the place. Or, you could just sit on a Mai Tai and say goodbye to the cares of the week. We love the tiki decor, too. Hakuna Matata.
