Stanley's on Stanley

An elegant bar neatly tucked away on Darlinghurst's quieter nightlife streets as a must go-to for Wednesday nights' DJ music and funky feels. Max and the team gladly booked us the entire bar as well as having pizza available to order on standby as they usually don't serve food. Very surprised to see many braved the wet weather and stayed well past the booking thanks to the awning that covers most of the outdoors!

Just had my 21st at Stanley's and could not recommend it more for a birthday function! All my guests had so many compliments about the venue, it's got a really good vibe and all the bar staff are super nice and friendly. Tyler was also really helpful in helping organise in the weeks leading up to this event.

Amazing venue with excellent soundsystem, their weekend program with good house music always entertaining. Max and Tyler served refreshing cocktails with a tasteful twist !

Amazing atmosphere!! Super affordable and good drinks. Great service, would recommend!

Amazing cocktail list. Great bartender/mixologist. Gorgeous service. Lovely cute decor and vibe. Terrible music. It’s like being at some pretentious Darling Harbour bar in 2007. But the cocktails and service is that amazing we will keep coming back

I had my 50th birthday there and hosted around 80 people. The service from Max and Tyler was unbelievable and nothing was a bother for them. I totally recommend this venue for any party you are thinking off!!!

Was invited here to have drinks for my girlfriends birthday. The atmosphere is relaxed, the service is quick, the staff were fabulous and fast. They were quick to clear any empty glasses or bottles from the tables. Bar staff were quick. The D.j's were fun and friendly. We stayed til closing , has it not closed we probably would of stayed longer.

Ryan was an absolutely lovely bartender! He created a lot of his own drinks on the menu, and he had such attentive customer service towards me and my partner. He took our wants into account, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a good experience at Stanley's, you could tell he loved his job which made us enjoy ourselves 😍

Would come back here again!!! Props to Ryan!!

We just had my daughter 21st at Stanleys.
Dan was open, accessible and really easy to deal with in the lead up and checking in afterwards too. Max and the team were amazing on the night making sure my daughter, her friends and even us oldies had a memorable time!
It's a great place for a few drinks any day but if you want a premier event space for a special occasion then this is the one.
Can't fault it, have had lots of positive comments from the guests already.
Thanks team!

Zach was an absolute legend and gave me and all my friends the best service! 10/10 recommend

Recently held a private party at Stanleys and could not recommend it highly enough. It's such a cool venue - it's got a funky bar area, a dance floor complete with artificial grass and then a covered alfresco section. Dan and his staff were so easy to deal with and everyone who attended was singing their praises afterwards. Great selection of drinks available - cool cocktails, wines and wide choice of beers. Ideally located in Darlinghurst, this is an absolute hidden gem in the Sydney bar scene. Do yourself a favour and check it out.

My favourite place for a drink! Great cocktails and consistent good music. The bar staff are always so lovely too. Highly recommend :)

Zack is a great bartender. Really good service and Charisma

Gem in the middle of the city that's my go-to spot for dates and drinks. The music is curated really well alongside a really friendly bar staff.

Great variety of cocktails and if youre lucky, you might even get their super rate salted beef bagels on special occasions!

Have been a regular customer since the outset the venue has only gone from strength to strength. Superb ambience with expertly curated music. The cocktail menu is consistently fresh and innovative, and a great range of boutique products as well as traditional favourites. Staff are always friendly and welcoming. One of the best bars in sydney without question.

Would recommend for a walk-in, private function or any occasion.

A fantastic establishment—a bit of a hidden pleasure, too, it must be said.

Welcoming staff, great service and cocktails and a refreshing selection of draught beers—it never disappoints.

We love spending many an hour here—either playing tunes or taking them in.

Well worth a visit.

Cool vibes, ordered their $2/oyster (Sydney Rock)

Awesome little cocktail bar with great house and disco!!! Massive Miami Vice vibes inside and cute alfresco setup out the front. Cocktails were top notch and the service was great. Definitely going to be frequenting here!

Their cocktails are delicious. The Italian Job and Lolita are two of the tastiest drinks I have ever tried. Cute decor, great atmosphere, very friendly staff. I really enjoyed our time there.

One of Sydneys best kept gems! Music is always great, super friendly staff and a great selection of cocktails and drinks. Always my go-to place after work on a Friday when I want to grab a drink and still be able to hang out and chat with friends.
