Clubs aren’t always an intimate affair, but with so many small bars around these days, it is easy to get cosy with the bar tenders. I am talking about sitting at the bar. There tends to be less leg room, elbow grazing bench tops, un-backed stool type chairs and the risk of an occasional drink spillage as people push passed you for service. But there are benefits to sitting at the bar.
Unless you are living under a rock, you have probably noticed the exponential emergence of small bars over the past couple of years. Mind you, perhaps there is even one under your rock as they tend to be found in odd places. This emergence was not simply part of the hipster craze, but actually fueled by legislation.
Tucked away in Stanley Street, Darlinghurst, is Sydney’s latest addition to the small bar scene. Boasting a range of unique drinks that tickle all us alcoholics’ (ahem, we mean ‘occasional drinkers’) tastebuds, The Hazy Rose is another one of those venues that has a cozy atmosphere perfect for catching up with friends in the evening after work.
