In less than 24 little hours the drinks will be flowing and festivities underway for Sydney Bar Week. If you’ve happened to bring your iPad with you make sure you download the Australian Bartender app in the Apple App Store, because we’ve made this year’s Bar Week guide free to download.

The Sydney CBD bar revival is showing no signs of letting up, with a new bar and restaurant, York Trading Co, opening up on York Street.

Those dapper lads from Sydney’s The Barber Shop want to make sure you’re looking your best during Sydney Bar Week (even if you’re feeling your worst). To that end they’re knocking 50 per cent off the price of a haricut and all barber services come with a complimentary Jameson Tipperary Cocktail.
