Palmer and co Review

The experience is terrific. The food is okay and the drinks are swanky. The live music always makes it worth the visit. The staff are period-dressed and too, often are the patrons so if you fancy a 20's dress-up. This is your venue.

Be warned, the drinks are unbelievably pricey for what is served. They have a love of using large blocks of clear ice which, whilst cool to look at (see what I did there?), are purely to fill the drink out and make it look much bigger than it is. A 5oz whiskey tumbler with a 2x1x1 cubic inch ice block is a hefty beef-out which leave little room for the $20 cocktail you've just purchased.

That said, quality over quantity.

Grate cocktails, food ok and is alway a good ambience.. not bad for meeting or dates or boys/girls night..
maybe they could improve in the music but yeah really cool place to go

Terrible, tries to be fancy but is just an over priced, ridiculously loud place. There was more ice cube in my drink than drink, I couldn't hear the person next to me talking and they charge silly amounts of money for basic stuff.

Exceptional cocktails and the decor is fantastic. Friendly staff

Venue is good but so annoying to be asked everytime you buy a drink if you want to start a bar tab....got table service and they just automatically started a tab without me asking for one...not cool

Awesome location. Stunning staff. Cocktails top class.

Great little niche 1920s Speak-themed bar tucked away behind The Establishment. They have a wide selection of cocktails, a few interesting whiskeys, as well as some snacks/nibbles. Live jazz on a Thursday night definitely helped set thhe atmosphere, as did the lovely wait staff rocking out some fine dresses and tiaras ;-)

Only downside is it gets pretty packed, but then what good bar doesn't get busy in Sydney at the end of the week!

Slow drink service. Double charged. Atmosphere is nice though.

Downstairs bar that gets very busy. Awfully loud, especially when there's also a musician playing. It took quite a while to get a cocktail here, but it was a Saturday night, so it's understandable.

There is not enough place in Sydney with table service, and I'm happy Palmer and Co is one of them. Good selection of drinks, nice ambiance, and I was even surprise to see a DJ there on a quiet week day, great music too !

I kind of love this place. A really friendly vibe, great range of drinks, and when we visited an amazing live band playing while swing dancers tore up the place. Pure fun.

Earthy, quirky vibes, good drinks good service, music was not the best but was above average. Would highly recommend it for a date night or drinks with friends.

Excellent service and super friendly and professional staff.
Hotdogs were delicious

Amazingly decorated but insanely busy. Prices are a bit hefty but I guess that goes hand in hand with an amazing CBD location like this. If you can, get there early or try and book ahead.

Try their classics:
Charlie Chaplin and Last Word cocktails.

Palmer's is one of my absolute favourite places to visit. The cocktails are amazing too!

Step back in time and enter Palmer & Co. This 1920's styled speak easy has been executed with immense style and finesse. The decor, staff and building design are excellent and the cocktails, even better. Each option on the menu has a story that adds to the theatrical experience. Wonderful place.

The staff were all really nice. Except ordering a drink took forever at least 30 min, even one of the whiskey we ordered was 115 dollar for 1 shot. So can we please get our drinks faster?

Nice little hidden gem, the underground feel really adds to the 1920s vibe. They have some very nice cocktails on the menu, would suggest one of those verses your regular drink. Charcuterie was a perfect snack. Was busy but not crowded around 7 on a Saturday, I could imagine it fills up much more later.

One of Sydney's best underground speakeasy (sort-of). Would be much better is more speakeasy and less crowded.

Quite a nice underground bar, nice drinks, snacks, and atmosphere

Had quite a lot of incredible times here! Keep up the amazing work

Delicious drinks and friendly staff. But was not happy with the mandatory service charge.

Def one of Sydney's most stylish bars.

Cocktails are fantastic.

Live music on weekends.

Mature crowd.

Staff friendly and well dressed.

One of those places that you can dive back in time and get a feeling of how it was during prohibition in the 20s.

Really feels like a speakeasy. Server is in full attire. Super cool!

A great vibe, cool tunes, awesome service. Please stay away so we can get a table.. ;)

Nice little speakeasy - great for a late night whisky

Insane service, great collection of drinks, beautiful atmosphere, and simply a great vibe all in all.

Great atmosphere, good music. A great little find in Sydney's underworld. Don't tell anyone!

Cocktails in style!
Nice and original cocktails bar underground...
Romantic atmosphere, with eccentric twist...
Ideal for couples or even with friends!
Fancy cocktails list, with interesting choices..
Take your time and try them all!

Nice underground bar hidden in central Sydney. The cocktails are good, crown decent and the charcuterie is A grade. Check in out for a late night drink.

Phenomenal cocktails, great old school vibe and A+ thematic staff outfits.

Felt like an adventure on our way to find this hidden gem. Felt like a dungeon lol. Good choice for dates imo.

Wonderful underground bar with low lit 1920's ambience. Great cocktails with solid wine and beer choice. Definitely recommend although a little pricey which is expected and warranted. Additionally it is wheelchair accessible via a lift in the hotel lobby.

Difficult to find underground bar with the entrance in a side alley behind the Establishment.

Once inside you get the typical hidden basement with a hint of sophistication. I spent a good chunk of my night oggling the shelving around the table.

Stopped by on a Tuesday so no lines in sight.

Hidden underground this speakeasy is the perfect place to escape for a few cocktails and some jazz. If you ask the staff nicely they might be able to organise a booking upstairs at Mr Wong which allows you to sneak up in their elevator!

I really expected to hate this place. It's painfully stylish, the servers are dressed in flapper headbands and strings of pearl, even the DJ is spin records with her equipment hidden inside wood... and then I asked for a recommendation between the sherry cobbler and their special offering, a barrel aged Toronto. "The Toronto!" Served up in a coupe with a disc of frozen coffee floating in it for added flare. I didn't expect rye, fernet and bitters to come out smokey but it was aged in a scotch barrel. So many interesting flavors. A server in a vintage cocktail dress asked me if I liked it and I gushed appropriately. "It hasn't been popular, the ingredients are a bit scary for people." Send it over to San Francisco... we'll take care of it for you! I expected all style and no substance but Palmer & Co exceeded my expectations.

Nice place with good atmosphere good music and it works every day till 3 am

The roaring 20s! Love the atmosphere and great cocktails. The music is a bit loud sometimes, though.

Such a fun underground place that helps you imagine what 1930s looked liked. Great cocktails and atmosphere.

Unsuspecting entrance but once you re at the entrance...it s a hive of activity. fantastic atmosphere N staff were really friendly. Also had 49% off my drinks - just because

Nice ambiance. Some good scotches and cocktails. Gets very busy.

Great and trendy bar. Lacked cocktail menus which would have been nice to see.

Nonetheless the bartenders looked after me as I told them what I liked. Fun atmosphere with old school textures music etc.

Definitely would go again.

Cool venue. Staff are friendly.

But no prices displayed. Really not abiding by retail standards maybe?

Drinks are like $20 each and recipts are never offered. It's not till you look at your credit card statement the next day.

Would like to provide a big congratulations to the doorman on Friday 22/2/19 who was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Despite not staying for long due to how busy the bar was and the large size of our group he still managed to have a very positive impact on our night out!

Great atmosphere, good list of cocktails and terrific service

Came here for a first date night on a wednesday evening. Bartender was very charismatic and recommended excellent cocktails. Vibe is very lively with a throwback to 20s feel. Would visit again. Entrance appears a little discreet which you will have to take a turn into an alley.

It's like walking downstairs and back through time! A night that starts at an almost hidden door in a laneway is always fun and the prohibition vibe of this place is very cool. Great cocktail list, delicious snacks and great service! Will definitely be back!

Drinks are great and its a funky speak-easy bar but, table Service is a little slow. They also forgot to put in our food order. They then tried to charge us for the food at the end which we never received.

Good date place, service staff are very attentive and always walking around checking if anyone needs a drink or anything else

Very fun underground bar. You ll find it s regularly showcasing live swinging jazz music ... and dedicated space so you can dance along! Showcasing extensive cocktail menu but very busy most nights. Table service is available too, wait staff are dressed the part!

Great underground raw brick hidden bar. Pricey but good drinks - live music is great and staff are period dressed which makes it lively. Packed on a Saturday night!

Used to be , Great atmosphere and great cocktails. I was served by Eshwear . I gave 5 star for this place but I visited on 13/11/19 cocktail was so bad . So my 2 star .

Went here with the girls for a night out recently and had the BEST time! The atmosphere is incredible, decked out with 1920's decor and live 1920's music. All the wait staff are dressed in 1920's clothing, with flapper dresses and waistcoats. The food is great, and fits along with the theme (1920's American classics). Drinks are themed too and they have an extensive drinks list, which is great for every taste. Overall, a great night out - Would definitely go again!

Excellent service and super friendly and professional staff.
Hotdogs were delicious

Very good underground bar with tasty cocktails and friendly staff

Great atmosphere and an excellent range of drinks. It gets really busy and can be difficult to find a table.

Brilliant bar with excellent atmosphere. Centrally located with a great selection of spirits and cocktails and a few lovely beers to choose from. Plays very excellent easy listening and 60s-70s tunes. Got a dance floor going here once but mostly a place for drinks. Open late.

Great service and fun vibe. A bit underground so cooler on a hot day. Solid drinks, personally go for a bullet rye old fashion.

Best late night hole in the ground in Sydney. Fantastic atmosphere, music and drinks.

This is a great bar! The service is outstanding, cocktails are delicious, and atmosphere is great! Definitely a little pricey, and the service fees are steep, but nice for a special occasion.

Great bar with brilliant cocktails. Especially enjoy going on Saturday nights when there's a blues jazz live band playing!

A jumping secret spot in the middle of the city. I've never been and had a quiet night here. Recommended if you like dressing up and savouring that fifties-style music and great cocktails.

One of the best bars in the city. Fantastic atmosphere, great food and wait staff are professional. Also, it's not overwhelmingly loud like most of the bars these days.

Very impressive place. A must to go at night in Sydney

We have visited this bar many a times never to be disappointed! if you haven t visited before its a must one of the best bars in Sydney with its dedication to creating the feel of a 1920s prohibition underground bar, the brilliantly crafted cocktails to match and the live music all make this experience ever more real. On top of this the staff are so professional and make you feel welcome, especially the hostess Carmen Ianni who will most likely greet you at the door or visit your table and is at the very soul of this brilliant bar 5 stars!

A nice pub in bylanes of George and pitt street. Gives the feel of getting in a dungeon for a party. Nice ambience good collection of cocktails

Cool underground cocktail bar. Often very busy so make sure you book a table in advance

Tasty drinks, great service, amazing decor and vibe

Great location, ambiance and cocktails. Great for a pre-dinner drink or end of evening nightcap. Will definitely be back.

We stumbled across this place by chance after a few other pubs. This place is tucked down an alley and hidden underground. it's a time warp to the era 1920s-style clandestine bar serves up an extensive menu of spirits and specially crafted cocktails using very nice ingredients. The wife had a cocktail mojito yeah I had one too it was awesome.

This place has a real Gatsby like feel in the atmosphere and interior. Its mostly busy with suits Monday to Friday. There's great drinks (delicious cocktails), the service is slick, and there's live music Fridays and a Saturdays. One of my favourite bars

Great prohibition style bar tucked down an alley. Cocktails were great and people went out of their way to give good service.

Place is good. Choice of liquor is limited compared to other similar places.

Love this place. Cocktails are always on point and service is non pretentious

Great ambience with attentive service, despite being packed. The home-made ginger beer is the best I've ever had. Get in early or reserve a table.

What an unusual and interesting place this is! It's in the cellars of the building and linked to the restaurant.
PS, you're unlikely to have phone reception down there.

Drinks and food were good but they lacked in service. It was a Sunday night, wasn't very busy but took a really long time before anyone came to say hello. It was much faster to just get out of the seat and walk up to the bar and order where all the servers were standing to have a chitchat. Only mentioning this because they charge you extra for table service. Give it a 3 because the drinks and charcuterie made up for it.

Great 20s vibe and decor. Great cocktails and love music! Food is pretty good too for a late night bite.

This bar has great atmosphere and amazing decor. It has nailed the 1920s theme and the drinks are tasty with an authentic feel. Unfortunately, I found the venue to be over priced and the staff added a service fee onto our bill without telling us. It seems a bit steep to charge $80+ for four drinks, two of which were non-alcoholic. I would recommend this venue if you are interested in theme style venues and don't mind paying for the experience. The dinner menu is pretty limited so perhaps consider grabbing a meal beforehand
