Time Out Bar Awards: Nominees

The Time Out Sydney Bar Awards are back for the 12th consecutive year, honouring the boozers and shakers that make this city one of the world’s very best places to bend the elbow. These are the newcomers, old favourites, true-blue pubs, neighbourhood watering holes, standing-only mezcalerias, underground drinking dens and experimental cocktail experts that are, quite literally, raising the bar with each and every drink they sling. Read on, bar lovers, to see who’s been slaying it this year.

The winners will be announced at the big event, Monday, December 9 at the Powerhouse Museum.
