Pocket is one of the bars in Sydney that only attracts the truly hip clientele. The design is edgy and on-the-pulse urban, with stencil-art graffiti and murals by respected local street artists adorning the walls, mis-matched armchairs, Chesterfield sofas, and a jumble of curios stashed in every spare space – think vintage train tickets, National Geographic mags and urban trainers. The barmen take their jobs seriously here, so order with confidence – the focus is on superlative, expertly-made cocktail classics like Negronis, Brambles or ‘pimped’ classics. Wines are available by the carafe and if you’re peckish, Pocket serves both sweet and savoury crepes.
