Sometimes enjoying a great drink isn’t just about the drink itself, but also about the experience and atmosphere of the bar. Our favourite small bar is the classy yet cosy Blu Bar on 36 which offers some of the best cocktails in the city with a view to match. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows complete the experience with a breathtaking, panoramic view of the beautiful Sydney Harbour. The menu is another sight to behold with half a dozen pages of inventive cocktails ranging from the chilli-infused Fire Hazard to the Orient-inspired Jasmine Garden. The food on offer includes mouth-watering dishes such as wagyu tartare served with ponzu and truffle mayo. Those with a slightly higher budget can opt for the most expensive cocktail in Sydney, dubbed the Martini On The Rock, which goes for a cool $10,000 and includes your very own diamond to keep as a memento.
