About this restaurant

Great for creative cocktails
Good for groups
Neighborhood gem

Banchō is a cocktail and whisky focused small bar in Sydney's Chinatown. We’re excited to bring a quality drinking experience to Chinatown. Our cocktails showcase local market produce and the bounty of Asian ingredients around us. Our bar features a large selection of Japanese and Scotch whisky, including rare and independent bottlings. And our bar snacks are designed to go hand in hand with the top shelf drinking to be had here at Banchō.

The overall experience was pleasant. However, we would appreciate having physical menu available to ensure inclusiveness, for visitors who might not have a smartphone or data connection, or who might not wish to see the menu via their device.

Many of the menu items weren't available which was mildly annoying. The fire alarm was no fault of the venue and was actually amusing...

What a hidden delight in Haymarket. Walking in the door we felt as though we travelled to a bar in Europe or Japan. Fantastic bites, great selection of alcohol and the atmosphere was amazing. We will definitely be back to try some whiskey.
