Rum, lime, sugar. Combine these three ingredients and you've got yourself a Daiquiri. But what happens when you take that classic combination and give it ten different twists? You'll find out at Bar Clarence, Sydney's newest basement bar dedicated to this much-loved cocktail.
If you're looking to knock back a couple of drinks after a hard day's work in the city, this intimate drinking den is the place to unwind. Tucked beneath 275 Clarence Street, Bar Clarence is the latest venture from Sam Overton, the hospo mind behind Lucky’s Lounge in Darlinghurst and Frankie Cadillac in Surry Hills.
With just 50 seats, a moody black-and-off-white interior and a late-night soundtrack of '90s hip hop and R&B, it's got all the ingredients for a good night out. And Daiquiris are very much the main event.
Start with the Bar Clarence Classic Daiquiri ($20) that’s shaken hard and finished with a lime wedge. Then work your way through nine more interpretations of the classic. Feeling adventurous? The Green Curry Daiquiri takes inspiration from the popular Thai dish, combining dark aged rum with coconut foam and lime leaf.
There’s also a tight menu of toasted jaffles and bar snacks to keep you going like the Vodka Beans jaffle, filled with baked beans in house vodka sauce and mozzarella, toasted in garlic butter and topped with Parmesan and chives.
Swing by Tuesday to Friday between 4pm and 6pm, when Classic Daiquiris and Mojitos are just $12. Psst! Hospo workers can enjoy these happy hour prices throughout.
Bar Clarence is open Tuesday to Thursday, 4pm-midnight and Friday to Sunday, 4pm-2am.
