What is it? The gilded penthouse cocktail lounge of the A by Adina Hotel, brought to you by the team behind Maybe Sammy.
Why do we love it? If Maybe Sammy is an ode to the Rat Pack's Vegas, then Dean and Nancy on 22 is their tribute to Sinatra's New York. Summoning the spirit of the Big Apple circa 1960, you could very well mistake Sydney’s city blocks for those of Downtown Manhattan (if you don't look too closely). Sure, it may not be quite Madison Avenue, but George Street will still do. It won Best Cocktail Bar in Time Out's Food & Drink Awards 2022.
Time Out tip: Every one of the signature cocktails has a fun game or a quirky gimmick up its sleeve. For our money, the sandalwood smoked rye concoction 23rd & Broadway is exactly the right mix of whimsy and class.
