The Wild Rover in Sydney’s Surry Hills is known for being a belter of a whiskey bar but they don’t just mix up whiskey drinks. Here Luke De Bono shows us one of the house specialties, the Dancing with Rosie, a thirst quenching hi-ball featuring tequila and Aperol.
Joining Whiley behind the bar are some of the city’s best bartenders, including Evan Stroeve (Bulletin Place), Jake Downe (This Must Be The Place; Scout London) and Ho Song (Cantina OK; PS40). Apart from the exceptional level of service they will bring, the crew have creative license to work on the “Re- search” drinks…
‘What’s not romantic is waiting twenty minutes for a drink while the bartender has to fumble around for six different bottles. My goal is to get drinks into people’s hands as quickly as possible without sacrificing any quality, which is a win win for everyone.’
