It’s a downtown bar like few others like few others, located at the entrance of the Sydney Hilton along bustling George Street where a glass elevator ushers guests from Hugh Jackman to Snoop Dogg to a dramatic club lounge known as Zeta Bar. Interiors mix a sophisticated club house design of quaff black leather seating areas flanked by towering stone fireplace, long counter-style bar and be-seen outdoor terrace that faces Queen Victoria Building. Rafter ceiling and rich hardwood floors lend an upscale undertone to the late-night appetizer menu and ingenious cocktails like a bacon-infused Manhattan created by famed-mixologist Grant Collins.
Tips
On busier nights, two VIP spaces include a more intimate VIP Booth hidden behind curtains next to the main bar or a VIP Room with fireplace and skyline view.
Last Word
Zeta Bar hosts a series of weekly parties that include a 19th Century inspired cabaret night that includes extreme burlesque, dwarf talent and gamut of snake charmer, contortionist and fire acts.
