Seven consecutive years on the World's 50 Best Bars list, currently No. 42, make this The Rocks venue Australia's most internationally acclaimed bar of the last decade. The program channels Golden Age Hollywood through a Rat Pack aesthetic and a cocktail menu built on generosity: big flavors, theatrical presentation, and a service style that makes every guest feel like the headline act. Maybe Sammy operates on the conviction that a great bar should be an event, not just a venue. After seven years, the event shows no signs of winding down. It was a Top 4 finalist for World's Best Cocktail Menu at the 2025 Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards.
