5 Star Review by Tsuki Sama
Very small place, but cozy. i love their concept you just tell them what flavour you're craving and they will make a drink for you based on that. Its a fun place to go on a date at ,very recommended if you want to experience something mysterious and exciting on a date night out
5 Star Review by Mia
A fabulous bar in darlinghurst where you get to choose exactly what cocktail you want! What flavour, alcohol.anything! Loved this idea. Also a very intimate space and sometimes they have live music which really brings out the romantic atmosphere.
5 Star Review by Brandon Patrao
A very cosy cocktail bar with ambient music. They have live music here every Saturday night and it is usually jazzy. Totally recommend! There add a venue twist to all cocktails
5 Star Review by Phoenix Black
Like an island of old school, pretention-free, speak-easy good times in a sea of East Sydney gentrification that forgets so many important ingredients to bars like... say... personable staff that come across like they actually want to be there, authentic style that feels like a product of genuine creative connection to ideas (as opposed to just ordered to replicate whatever new Sydney bar trend is in at the moment), and a diverse mix of punters that feel decidedly local but open to whoever you are and wherever you're from, Long Goodbye is a Darlo treasure. Throw in some eclectic live jam sessions on weekends, and a not-on-the-menu adventure into cocktails made to respond to whatever you feel like, and really, there isn't another bar like it in Sydney. We bloody adore the place! May it never say goodbye!
5 Star Review by James Robinson
Wandered into this place after dinner at bar Reggio around the corner. I couldnt recommend it highly enough!! From the aesthetic of the bar itself which is saloon meets speak-ezy to the delicious cocktails (I had a negroni). If your looking for a place with great vibes, this is it.
