Negroni enthusiasts are a special bunch, and Bar Conte's co-owner Raffaele Lombard counts himself among them. Yes, Bar Conte is an ode to one of our favourite neon red cocktails and to Count Camillo Negroni-the count, adventurer, and lover of gin. Love a Negroni? Say hello to Sydney's first-of-its-kind dedicated Negroni bar, with over 20 iterations on the cards. Signature drink: The selection here is too mind-boggling to pick just one-talk to the staff to find your perfect sip. If you need any further reason to visit, Maybe Sammy holds a spot on the World’s 50 Best Bars list, and, in 2020, took home the World's 50 Best Michter’s Art of Hospitality award, which is handed down for-you guessed it-hospitality, guest service, and general good vibes in any bar experience. These guys whip up a string of signature cocktails that are a little left of centre (in the best way possible). Maybe Sammy’s greatest claims to fame are the award-winning cocktail shakers behind the bar: co-owner Martin Hudak and bar manager Paolo Maffietti. The interiors are inspired by the glamour of a 1950s Rat Pack-era hotel bar-which is arguably the best era of cocktails. Let's just say, this bar deserves all the hype. If you've done some research about bars in Sydney-chances are you've already heard about Maybe Sammy. Signature drink: Mezcal! The Margarita Ok! with pink salt is a great entry point and is one of the best margaritas in town. This is a space for drinking and learning about a spirit that is still fairly underappreciated. If you’re not into mezcal yet, go to Cantina Ok! with the goal of learning from the highly knowledgeable staff. Cantina OK! is one of only two Sydney bars currently on the World's 50 Best Bars list-so yeah, you need to visit. The self-described “micro mezcal mecca” is tucked away at the end of an otherwise suspicious-looking laneway-as many good bars are these days. In the year Sydney discovered mezcal, tequila's smokier, sexier sibling, Cantina OK! led the charge. It's one of Sydney's best, with house-made vermouth, and glows neon red like the rest of the bar. Signature drink: Hands-down the Apollonia Negroni. And don't worry if you're hungry late, with the bar serving rotating Sicilian-style late-night snacks available every night until 2.30am. You'll find Italian and Australian Amari, bitters, whiskies, and gins, with plenty of cocktails on offer. There's even a nightly midnight toast to Michael's love at first sight "thunderbolt" or "colpo di fulmine". In fact, nearly every aspect pays homage to the romantic but tragic love story between him and Apollonia, from each menu chapter to the bar's decor. Taking the top spot on our list is Apollonia. Hidden in the basement beneath Hinchcliff House, the four-storey Italian-inspired mega restaurant, this moody underground bar is inspired by Michael Corleone's Sicilian wife in Mario Puzo's book The Godfather.
