Where locals go for a Sunday hangover cure
Tipple of choice: The Little Creatures Pipsqueak cider has been known to chase away headaches, then cause a few more.

Situated at the quieter end of Burton Street, this is one of those places that feels like home the moment you walk in. Always busy in a comfortable way, it's usually where Darlinghurst's clubbers end up on a Sunday afternoon after a hard night partying, as the stone-cladded interior is literally a cool place to rest your head, whilst the gorgeous courtyard garden is great for cat-nappers who can still tolerate bright sunshine.
Afternoon drinks are a specialty here, so pull up a chair, order a big jug of iced-something, and cringe as you relive last night's endeavours.
