Tucked away in Sydney’s historic Bulletin Place, Bar 1880 is a two-level cocktail venue that seamlessly blends heritage charm with modern mixology. Occupying the former headquarters of The Bulletin magazine, first published in 1880, the bar pays homage to its literary roots through thoughtful design elements, including replica press letters embedded in the cobblestone laneway and vintage-inspired interiors.

The ground-floor “Headline Bar” offers a welcoming atmosphere with curated drinks and bites, while the upstairs “Press Room” provides a more intimate setting, featuring an extensive selection of wines, cocktails, and spirits, all complemented by rich interiors that highlight the building's historical features. Bar 1880 has quickly become a favourite among locals and visitors alike, celebrated for its inventive cocktails, attentive service, and the unique experience of sipping drinks in a venue steeped in Sydney's publishing history.
