Looking for something a little bit dark and mysterious, well you just might find it at Marble Bar. Situated in the Hilton Sydney, it’s a world away from the bright lights of the city, time-travel with original Victorian-style decor. Think intimate surroundings, dark woods, fire places, stained glass ceilings and a load of marble… nice.

This impressive bar will blow any date (mate or lover) away, so sink into a leather sofa and drain your Charlie Chaplin... a Plymouth sloe gin, balanced with apricot brandy and freshly squeezed lime juice. If you’re lucky you’ll catch one of their live music slots from local singers, perfect cocktail accompaniment.

Feeling peckish? The gourmet bar snacks will more than sort you out, tuck into the insane mini Wagyu burgers, but if you’re on a date and don’t want food taking up residence on your face, the selection of cured meats, pickles, olives and bread will do just fine.

Drink cocktails, their selection is big and includes everything from classic Mai Tais to their very own signature ones, BarChick recommends the Royal vanilla & Passion Fruit Martini... it will make your mouth water. Other little treats include a wicked whisky list and Dom Perignon 310 Champagne on the menu. Suits us.
