Great for creative cocktails
Good for special occasions
Charming

Vinabar is a Vietnamese inspired micro-bar, hidden behind a steel door disguised as a banh mi cart. Set in a space no bigger than two car spaces, we aim to deliver on our tagline "small space, big dreams".

Located within the YCK Laneways precinct, we are one of a handful of Sydney venues that are open Tuesday to Sunday. Our menu is heavily influenced by Vietnamese fruits, flavours and delicacies. It's a chance for us to showcase our experiences through our travels to Vietnam and the rest of Asia, as well as our childhoods and upbringings.

We're open Tuesday to Sunday, from 5pm - 2am with a new special that launches every fortnight. Plus, our signature baby banh mi's are available every night until 2am.

This is Vinabar - Good vibes, impeccable service and one-of-a-kind cocktails.

Great bar! My partner and friend took me there to celebrate my birthday and the service was amazing. I tried 2 different drinks, one better than the other, and more importantly, the music was at a level that you could both enjoy the tunes and the conversation.

Great bar with great asian coctails with a great vibe and atmosphere! Definitely a cocktail bar through and through, not alot of food here, so great for pre dinner or post dinner drinks! Staff are really friendly and helpful with cocktail recommendations and super knowledgeable on their cocktails and how they're all made and how they tried to mimick asian desserts. Ca-phe Martini, Dragon's Breath and Avo Shake are amazing!!!

The drinks were so delicious and creative. Really in touch with vietnamese cuisine and style for their cocktails and drinks. The staff were all so welcoming and lovely to have a conversation with. They made the overall experience really amazing for my boyfriend's 21st! Definitely would love to go again!!

This is a great “little” bar, small in size but big on service and ambience. Stylish interesting decor (once you get through the secret door ;), first class service, top cocktails and yummy mini banh mi. A very enjoyable experience, thank you.
