Apollo Inn

When Jim Meehan’s name was first mentioned at Apollo Inn, a ripple of excitement reverberated through the team. Celebrated as one of the world’s leading bartenders, Jim rose to fame behind the bar at New York’s renowned speakeasy, Please Don’t Tell. He’s a driver of the modern cocktail movement, using curious and delicious ingredients to transform classic cocktail recipes for the modern palate. ⁠
⁠
As generous with his expertise as he is skilled at stirring down a delightful drink, Jim won Tales of the Cocktail’s Bartender of the Year in 2009 as well as multiple James Beard awards. He is now an accomplished author, with his book, The Bartender’s Pantry, published last year. ⁠
⁠
Jim is a self-declared “cowboy without a horse” — a bartender without a bar. And so, it’s a true delight for him to join us at Apollo Inn for a Guest Shift on his travels through Australia. On Thursday, the menu below of five of Jim’s drinks will feature alongside five of our own favourites.⁠

​​​​​​​Walk-ins welcome, reservations recommended.

It’s Dine Out! Festival and the crew from Sydney’s Herbs Negroni Taverne are flying down to Flinders Lane for a party on Sunday 10th August. ⁠
⁠
Herbs Negroni Taverne is one of Sydney’s favourite new bars. They’re bringing down an array of their signature Negronis, each with its own delicious spin. We’ll have our own drinks alongside and our chefs will be cooking a menu of snacks primed for Negroni and Martini-sipping. Plus Adam Hailliwell (Mildlife) will be on the decks all night long. ⁠

Reservations are available until 8pm, with walk-ins until late.
