Ms. G's- Potts Point


In the back alley of Kings Cross, Sydney, comes this little gem of a bar.
Open the slide glass door and step into what feels a busy Asian marketplace.

Lanterns, Tsing Tao, graffiti and chopsticks.
Take the time to breathe in the surroundings, as everywhere you turn is an experience in itself. Walk through the hustle and bustle of the bottom dining room and bar. Walk up the stairs and you'll be blown away by the magnificent view of the city of Sydney- equip with sky scrapers, Centre Point, and Harbour Bridge. Even in terrible weather the ambience is magical.

This level offers communal dining on long wooden tables, creating the perfect environment for chatty groups…and if there’s just the two of you, I assure you you’ll leave with plenty of new friends. 

Don’t forget to check out the bathroom- all the way down the bottom of the stairs, past the busy kitchen, to what feels like a dungeon. They can only be described as styled as ‘marketplace elegance’. A simple wooden bucket as a sink with an outdoor tap, coupled with beautifully framed fence post-wooden mirrors.  

My 24/7

If you're simply here for a Social.Aperitif, head straight up to the top level, where the bar awaits you. This level is littered with people, and especially on weekends, is difficult to find a seat. The walls have been delicately engraved with graffiti, leaving you wondering whether or not its intentional. One thing you can't go past at this Sydney bar is the slurpie cocktails- delicious cocktails vacuum sealed in a plastic cup, stabbed with an oversized straw.- perfect for the Social.Aperitif. that will b
ring out the big kid in all of us...
