Sydney Small Bar and Street Art Tour

Visit some of Sydney’s best small bars while discovering amazing street art with an expert.
Perfect for solo travellers, couples, friends, non-drinkers, locals, visitors – anyone who wants a fun & unique afternoon or night out. Over 3 hours, your expert host will take you to 3 different bars, with the first drink (beer or wine) included, while weaving in stories about street art & showing you murals by some of Australia’s most famous and talented artists.

On alternate Saturdays, we rotate between the two routes:

The Newtown & Enmore Rd route starts at "I Have A Dream" mural, and explores some of Sydney’s best bars around Newtown and Enmore Road, recently voted as one of the coolest streets in the world.

The Redfern & Chippendale route starts at "Old Clare Hotel", hitting up these two neighbourhoods, which are home to a range of eclectic small bars and heaps of impressive street art.

After the tour, we’ll provide you with a map link to all the bars and places visited on the tour.
