Hinky Dinks
Hinky Dinks is a small bar in the Sydney suburb of Darlinghurst and a labour of love for two mates, Jeremy Shipley and Dan Knight. Between them they have a wealth of hospitality experience spanning over 20 years, various cities, continents and countries.
With an emphasis on approachable wines and fun drinks, Hinky Dinks embodies the enthusiastic spirit of the 1950s cocktail culture. A culture that knew a cocktail wasn’t so much a drink as it was a fashion accessory. And that the Cocktail hour wasn’t so much a time, but more a mood – a defiant stance against the demands of the nine-to-five. It’s all about the difference between a glass of gin with an olive in it, and a Martini. The difference between a passing glance, and an invitation.
