Cheaper than a flight to NYC, Donny’s is the closest thing to industrial elegance (reminiscent of Williamsburg) you’ll find this side of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Think bare brick walls and exposed wood panelling with Edison lamps on display casting a hypnotic glow around the room, and the over-sized birdcage-come-liquor cabinet; a treasure trove waiting to be discovered.

The cocktails are fun, fruity and served in jars. Watch the hot bartenders whip up colourful concoctions and be sure to order a killer Bloody Mary. Peckish? Either go for a full meal or share some dumplings and sliders, these guys have it boxed.

Open until midnight occasional live music makes this the perfect place to rev up the engine before taking it downtown, baby.
