Kinda sketchy getting to Baxter Inn don't let it scare you off (see photos). I didn't have food here I came for the scotch! Literally hundreds of whiskeys with a massive selection of scotch! Great bartenders, dark pleasant atmosphere! Definite recommendation if you're a whiskey drinker!

One of the best bars in Sydney! Highly recommend visiting this if you wanna grab a a very good cocktail and enjoy this one in an underground bar which feels very secretive. One point to improve is the air ventilation, since it can be a bit smelly in some corners of the bar.

Hidden bar with nice vibe. Go through a dark alley with no instructive sign you will see a guardian standing at a door towards a basement with no name and logo. The inside is quite nice. Try their best sellers like fruit whiskey. I also ordered red wine from local, not disappointed at all. Go late might need to wait abit.

This place feels like a secret treasure in the city! The vibe is laid-back but stylish, with dim lighting and great tunes that make it feel like a little escape. The cocktails and whisky choices are top-notch, and the staff are friendly and really know their stuff. I had such a fun night here and can’t wait to go back!

Absolutely loved this hidden gem! The moment I stepped in, I was blown away by the wall full of whisky bottles and the vintage wooden bar setup – cozy, stylish, and full of character. I tried four cocktails and every single one was a surprise in the best way possible: 1. Apple Whisky ($14) – Light, fruity, and super easy to drink. Perfect for beginners and a popular choice on Chinese social media. 2. Muay Thai ($26) – Off-menu hidden cocktail. Strong, unique, and full of personality! 3. Scofflaw ($24) – On the sweeter side, ideal if you enjoy dessert-like drinks. 4. Silk Road ($28) – My personal favourite. Woody, smoky, and rich. It reminded me of an upgraded Old Fashioned – the deeper you sip, the more addicted you get
