Banchō

You walk in this place and you can tell it’s authentic. It’s the type of place where you enjoy a drink with a small group have a good chat and just enjoy the scenery. My friends and I enjoyed the fantastic drinks and played cards. The staff is friendly and so well dressed. I will definitely be coming back here with a date or friends from out of town. It’s a place to impress!

Lovely atmosphere with the nicest staff. The bar is hidden in an alleyway and is truly a hidden gem! We ordered the Dragon Tears ($23) and the Sake Watermelon Highball ($12). The Dragon Tears was very unique and you could truly taste the jasmine tea. The Highball was also quite delicious and refreshing. Will be back!

We have such nice staff and a pretty and handsome bartender. The cocktail tastes amazing, too! Everyone is professional. I recommend this place in Sydney with the best atmosphere!

I’ve never seen such a classy place in Sydney with such cute and handsome bartenders! It’s perfect for dropping by casually or for celebrating special occasions with your partner!

Nice beer. Authentic, cozy ambience with perfect lighting and music. Feeling lucky bumping into this place!

This cocktail bar, tucked away in a quiet laneway, feels like stepping into another world once you’re inside. The decor is stylish, and the ambiance has a great energy, with a solid selection of drinks. However, it can get incredibly loud, which can be a bit overwhelming - though it’s more a result of some of the loud, obnoxious customers they get than anything on the bar’s end. We enjoyed our time here, but unfortunately, we were asked to leave just before 10pm on a Saturday evening due to our table being reserved.

The food and drinks were lovely, the atmosphere is cozy and romantic, and the service was absolutely impeccable. The staff were friendly, attentive and there was always someone around to assist you. We are especially grateful for the man who may have been the manager/owner? who was very kind and hospitable to us as we came in from the pouring rain, and showed us particular kindness!! Thank you to the wonderful staff. I would highly recommend.

It has been a few years since I'd been to the city for Friday night drinks. We started up town at Herbs and had a few places in mind, at each place we went was because we listed our choices to the mixologist (we chose to sit at the bar at each place) and gauged their reactions. Often they would get really excited about one you mention so that was the choice. Bancho came highly recommended by the team at PS40… We didn't need a booking and only had to wait a few minutes, but if you are keen I'd book to make sure you get a table. The menu seems limited, however they only offer a few pages at the table the rest is available online. Food came out quickly as did the drinks even though it was completely full
