Shady Pines Saloon
Editorial
Shady Pines features lighting that's barely there, a big, long, wooden bar where beer cans are served up on napkins, and Americana cluttered on walls adorned with stuffed animals and Native American totems. It may sound tacky, but it most certainly isn't - this Cheers-style bar has its tongue knowingly planted in cheek, and it may just be one of the coolest new haunts in Sydney.
The check-shirted bar folks certainly know how to shoot the shit with any soul who finds themselves propping up the bar. And, perhaps surprisingly for a place that serves beer in cans, they can also whip up the finest cocktails. Try a mint julep served in a pre-chilled metal beaker, or go old school wild west with a whiskey sour. The whiskey selection is impressive, and by the time you've imbibed a few of their highly alcoholic concoctions you'll be cussing like you're that dude from Deadwood and spitting in tin buckets.

Ask for a 101 Whisky Sour and your mind will be blown away. What a drink!

too full, very difficult to have a conversation.
