About this place Grove Bar | Cocktail Lounge

Grove Bar is a cocktail lounge located in Potts Point, one of Sydney's most vibrant and queer-friendly neighbourhoods. The venue sits on Darlinghurst Road, putting you in the heart of an area known for its inclusive atmosphere and LGBTQ+ community spaces. As a gay bar and cocktail lounge, it's designed as a relaxed social venue where you can settle in for an evening of drinks and conversation.

Friends, this bar really surprised me! The atmosphere was intimate and fun, the bartenders were great conversationalists, the cocktails were delicious, and there were board games and live music. I'll definitely be taking my friends back again.

Best espresso martini in the cross (I’d know, I’ve tried them all) and a lovely family owned business

Booked here for a hens early in the night (6pm) so not drunk already, checked everyone’s ID which is fine we’re all 30+ the BRIDE didnt have ID so was told not to drink alcohol we said it’s ok thanks so much we will go elsewhere horrible woman with brown hair turned around and said we’re not sad you’re leaving. OK THEN went out of her way to be rude nothing but nice from the group l, some people are just miserable I guess! Would not recommend to anyone.

Unfortunately, the cocktails were not to European taste. Neither alcohol nor taste. The beer, location and service were fine.
