Sydney’s small bar scene has changed a lot in the past few years as the local council has changed licencing laws to make them more viable.

The result is a really healthy mix of small bars, many of them underground, many of them completely un-advertised. Only through social media would you find a bar like Baxters – up a small alleyway and tucked around under a building in the corner.

We went to 3 underground bars –

Stitch Bar in York St, easily identified by the array of old Singer Sewing machines at street level
The Baxter Inn, a whisky bar in Clarence St, and
The Lobo Plantation, a rum bar in Clarence St

Secret Sydney. Fascinating.
