Rough, off-beat and beautiful, Darlinghurst encapsulates urban life in Sydney. This whole-in-the-wall neighbourhood used to house Sydney's most infamous crime gang, the Razors. Today it offers some of the city's best small bars and Italian restaurants. If you're lucky, you can (probably) still grab a piccolo with Australia's version of Tony Soprano.
Get in early to grab a homemade cinnamon bun with a batch brew.
Fair prices, a back garden and BYO.
It's easy to lose track of time in here, so make sure you allow plenty of time to peruse the shelves!
Indecisive beer drinkers beware, the Local has the best tap beer selection in Sydney, with over 40 choices that change weekly. Great summer rooftop, delicious Aussie meals.
