If you’re on the hunt for a unique dining destination to try this Valentine’s Day, you’ve come to the right place. Nestled in the heart of The Rocks you’ll find Sergeant Lok. Be sure to look beneath the surface, because this restaurant offers more than what meets the eye.

Set inside the heritage-listed police station building in The Rocks, Sergeant Lok is an innovative dining room and bar, serving modern Chinese cuisine and heritage-inspired cocktails. In fact, diners can book a spot inside one of the building’s private “jail cells”, which retain the heritage of these historic jail cells (complete with original, lockable cell doors) for a truly remarkable experience.

As you’d expect, the menu at Sergeant Lok takes inspiration from the early history of The Rocks. In fact, the suburb used to be called “Little Canton” in the 1880s and is Australia’s oldest Chinatown. Known as the city’s “waterside underworld”, Little Canton was a world of secret handshakes, underground gambling, and even opium dens. These little touches have inspired much of the décor and interior design of Sergeant Lok to make it a truly memorable experience.
