Shady Pines Saloon in Darlinghurst is Sydney’s only genuine honky tonk saloon, with live music on Sundays, unbeatable atmosphere and passionate bartenders. Open 7 days a week, its admirers come for the laid-back pace, and an atmosphere built on vintage taxidermy, a salvaged antique back bar, and an abiding affection for a good rye. Shady Pines draws a lot of its inspiration from the dive bars of old and proud to serve peanuts in the shell.
