Old Mate’s Place

Old Mate's Place is a distinctive speakeasy-style rooftop cocktail bar hidden on Level 4 of 199 Clarence Street in Sydney's CBD. Accessed by lift through an unassuming office building, the multi-level venue reveals a beautifully curated space filled with Victorian bookshelves lined with old books, leather booths, lush plants, and a well-stocked bar. The intimate open-air rooftop above offers bright, airy surroundings with panoramic 360-degree views over the central business district, framed by cascading greenery. Old Mate's Place is first and foremost a cocktail bar, celebrated for its ever-changing list of creative signature serves crafted with precision and flair. Light bites including Philly cheesesteaks are also available. Open Tuesday through Sunday from the afternoon into the early hours, this hidden gem is a favourite among Sydney's cocktail enthusiasts.
