The Lobo is without a doubt, one of the coolest places to drink and be (very) merry in Sydney.
Inspired by Julio Lobo, the last Cuban sugar baron, we are a stylish and charming bar that is all about rum, good vibes and high-quality cocktails.
Tucked away on Clarence Street in the CBD, you’ll find The Lobo located in a basement where the cocktails are creative, fresh and mostly rum-based. Our rum selection is 300-bottles strong and the cocktail list goes perfectly alongside. Important note, we are are cocktail & rum bar and therefore do not have food/dining available.
If all this sounds up your alley, grab your crew and head to The Lobo. It’s a cosy and intimate spot though, so reservations are recommended to avoid disappointment. No minors permitted.

    Service, drinks and ambience were absolutely fantastic. Didn't order food but the chips on the side of drinks were a great touch. Would definitely recommend.

    Great Cocktails... Unfortunately no food, only crisps in a bowl! They really need to offer a snack/bar menu! We met some friends for a couple of drinks. The music was ridiculously loud for a 18.30 booking. It was like sitting in a night club and we could not hear our own conversation. After, we went around the corner to the Swinging Cat which had food, great cocktails and the music was much lower.

    The staff were friendly and very helpful/knowledgable in recommending rums. I had a kiwi fruit frozen dacquiri which was delightful. The plantain chips were fab.

    Fantastic Bar - but no food at all. Other than the complete lack of food (except very ordinary biscuit nibbles) this is a great place and a lot of fun. It has a great energy about it with real 'ambience'.
