We took a trip back to the indulgent 1920s with the opening of Brooksy in Sydney’s CBD.

Nestled away from the bustle of George Street, Brooksy encapsulates that speakeasy vibe you know from Hollywood movies, featuring velvet-draped curtains, marble counters, and art deco interiors with green accents. The cocktail menu, curated by award-winning Brendon Hill, takes patrons on a global journey with each sip, offering delights such as the Uluru and Saluti cocktails.

Brooksy’s opening night was a dazzling affair, with live music and dancers bringing the 55-seat venue to life. Naturally, the lucky patrons were dressed to to nines with more shimmering diamonds and pinstrips than you could poke a cane at.

Executive Chef Hemant Dadlani’s menu featured dishes like Glacier 51 Toothfish and Salmon with pickled fennel. Guests enjoyed premium whiskeys from a bar cart and freshly shucked oysters. Hidden offerings, giveaways, and fortune telling added an extra layer of excitement, making Brooksy a unique addition to Sydney’s nightlife.

Check out the highlights in the gallery above and be sure to drop in next time you’re in the area.
