About our rating systemOn my last visit to Sydney’s one–and–only tiki bar, head bartender Michael Chiem was being grilled by a couple of regulars on drink recipes and booze history in preparation for the upcoming competition for Sydney’s best bartender. He didn’t miss a question—not surprising, as his cocktails don’t miss a note, either. Chiem is practicing serious mixology here despite the wonderfully silly glasses everything come in (hooray for monkey heads and faux pineapples!). And that, in a nutshell—er, coconut shell—sums up the appeal of this woven–grass covered, maori sculpture–happy bar: it laughs at itself while delivering up world-class mixed drinks, excellent bar foods, and on weekends, a raucous dance party in the central area (the scene’s mellower on weeknights).

There's no real "square" at Oxford Square. To find the bar, go down the steps on the opposite side of the street from the sign saying "Oxford Square" and look for the door with the painted pineapple on it.
