Embracing the quirkiness that seems to define and shape Sydney's small bar scene is PS40, a soda bar right in the heart of the city. Pouring sparkling drops of unique flavours like the Wattle Cola and smoked Lemonade and beers from local brewhouses. The food is designed to be snacked on and to compliment the exciting cocktail list with light bites of terrines, pickles and bánh mì. PS40 is fresh and vibrant offering a great place for friends to catch up.
PS40 is a cocktail bar in the heart of Sydney where PS Sodas are created and hand-made. It is a collaborative creative space and test ground for new and seasonal flavours which are served on tap.
With a focus on suggested soda and spirit pairings and specialised cocktails, emphasis is put on in house creations and a nose to tail approach.
Their 60 seater bar also serves a selection of bar snacks, craft wines and beers in an pen cellar door setup.
In the blue corner bottling sodas and making sandwiches is Chiem. Regular Sydney bargoers will remember him best from his time at Sokyo Bar and subsequents stints with the Swillhouse gang and Bulletin Place.
In the red corner is co-captain Bergquist, a man with a scorcher of a rap sheet (London's Experimental Cocktail Club, Melbourne's Der Raum and Singapore's the Tippling Club) and a dab hand with a boston glass.
To that end, your best play is to sidle up to the bar and order one of everything. Oh sure, it also means leaving the bar broke and sideways, but it's worth it. Especially for a Jean Claude Pandan. Never let a pun get in the way of a good cocktail – not least when that translates as a sort of milk punch with a Thai twist. The result is a clean, lightly perfumed cocktail of rum, coconut water, pineapple and whey.
