ThewolfofeatstreetOctober 7, 2017Awesome little little bar that specialises in rum and good vibes! The music is great, staff service is great. Tip: most of the runs served here, on the rocks, are delicious!!
Ross WSJanuary 16, 2017A flight of fancy across the rum-producing nations of Latin America, Lobo Plantation serves some of the best rum cocktails in Australia.
Sebastien MSeptember 11, 2017Ask the bartender Chad for a cocktail with the Haitian Rhum Barbancourt or Clairin Vaval. Off the menu brings about added creativity. He might just mistake you for a connaisseur.
Ben ThomasNovember 30, 2018Another cool small bar in a CBD basement. This one focuses on a Latin American theme with plenty of rum. Grab a bowl of the banana chips as well!
Ryan ChandlerSeptember 30, 2018Great selection of rum drinks. Also good food options (empanadas, and more small bites)
- Ross WSSeptember 5, 2016An Aussie expedition across Latin America, Lobo Plantation leaves few rum destinations unchartered. Rum flights and cocktails make for all but a rum do.
Jason JMarch 14, 2014No reservations taken, if you have a bar tab you'll get assigned a booth regardless of how busy it is though. Good service although staff seem stressed at times, go easy on them.. :)
Alfonso CastilloNovember 11, 2014Absolutely amazing. Cocktails are awesome, bar vibe great and the book about the different rums its outstanding. Big research
Dennis LeAugust 13, 2014All cocktails I tried were nice and sweet. Awesome table service if you sit in the lounge area, great for large groups.
Adam SearleJanuary 29, 2018Vibe, cocktails, table service, music at a good level such that you can actually talk. Good first date spot!
ShirpsAugust 4, 2013If you're unsure of what to pick from the cocktail menu, try the Communist Sour. Nice way to wash down their awesome pork crackling.- Chung HoApril 23, 2015Pretty cool place with interesting cocktails and staff seem pretty knowledgeable - get them to surprise you. Gets fairly busy and a bit loud though.
Very friendly bar tenders and adding a duck for a buck is SO worth it!
TWO downsides of the place - order your food much earlier coz they so take the time. MUSIC is way too loud, I can hardly hear myself. (reflected by numerous patrons)
Amazing place, definitely one of my favourites in Sydney. This photo says it all! #fun
Gé .March 22, 2014Nice spot, but small capacity leaves you waiting in a queue outside for ever. Mocktails pretty good, but the music is way TOO loud (my voice is gone)- Aurélie MénardNovember 22, 2013Good atmosphere, good music, good cocktails. Liked the Communist Sour and the Napoleon. And those banana chips!
Stephanie SngDecember 18, 2013Love the cocktails - not too sweet. Fabulous service and reasonably priced tasty food. :)
Jessica LavenderJuly 30, 2013Ask JAY to make you a special scotch cocktail! You won't regret it... Also if you see me here, you owe me a drink!
- Rum specialist. A straight one on the rocks with the groovy music. Great spot after work.
David ByrneJune 23, 2015For an extra $5 you can get your drink served in a flaming pineapple. Nuff said!
- Dennis LeAugust 23, 2014Avoid after-work drunks on Fri nights. Had the most awkwardly convoluted confrontation with some suits dancing in the bathroom corridor(?!) on my 5th visit. Totally killing the Sydney small bar scene.
Nancy GeorgesSeptember 10, 2013Pretentious place.... I was not allowed in even though my friends were inside.... Despite people leaving in droves... Lots of complaints.

"Swinging gin bar with live acid jazz band on Thurs. Seasonal cocktails menu, try the Pimm's and Shave & Tonic (G&T twist). $50 haircuts are pricey but come with friendly professionalism + house beer."

"Great Sydney venue. Staff are amazing and know the list from tip to tail. If you're looking for amazing cocktails that push it to the limit, this is the place. Drink list changed up frequently."
Mark Adams - 8.3
"Hands down my new favorite bar! Come for the extensive whiskey list and craft beers, but stay for the twangy old school folk music and obscene amount of taxidermy"

"Large choice of whiskies, great cocktails too and good old fashioned. Hidden place, hard to find but definitely worth it!"
Benjamin Chavernac - 8.5
"Love it. This would be my usual from now on. Great skilful drinks, phenomenal service, offered some basic nibbles such as cheese platter. The deco is warm and comfy. Music is nicely played at ease."
Cindy Hung - 7.8
"Try the Fire in the Pisco cocktail & Wagyu burger. Arrive early for a bar space (4-5pm) or book a table for dinner & enjoy your food & drinks there."
