Sydney’s CBD has welcomed a cool new addition to its nightlife with Brooksy, a hidden speakeasy that takes you back to the lively 1920s.
Tucked away from George Street’s hustle, Brooksy’s discreet entrance brings the charm of the Prohibition era for those craving a sophisticated and intriguing night out. With velvet curtains, marble counters, and chic Art Deco interiors accented by green, the bar’s signature absinthe cocktail served in a dazzling absinthe fountain sets the tone.
Brooksy also offers unique experiences like premium whiskeys served from a bar cart, tableside oyster shucking, and hidden giveaways for those who spot the clues. Entertainment includes live bands and fortune-telling, adding a touch of mystery and fun.
Created by award-winning beverage director Brendon Hill, Brooksy’s cocktail menu offers a global journey from the golden age of travel, making each drink an adventure. Don’t miss the Uluru, a refreshing mix of green grapes, lemon, Campari, gin, and white vermouth that transports you to the outback, or the Saluti, a blend of house-made citrus cello, peach granita, and prosecco that brings the Amalfi Coast to your glass.
Brendon Hill, Australia’s Cocktail Champion of 2014, has made waves in Sydney’s beverage scene at spots like The Grounds of Alexandria and Duck Duck Goose. Now at Brooksy, he’s crafted an impressive menu inspired by his travels, from Melbourne’s hidden laneways to Tuscany’s rolling hills.
The snacks at Brooksy, crafted by Executive Chef Hemant Dadlani, are just as impressive. With over two decades of experience in seven countries, Dadlani’s standout dishes include Glacier 51 Toothfish with shiro miso and cucumber salsa, and Salmon with pickled fennel, capers, and a delicate croquant. Plus, there’s a variety of shareable snacks.
