The Doss House, whisky and history beneath The Rocks

The Doss House is a heritage underground bar in The Rocks, known for its whisky collection, classic cocktails and cosy basement setting. It's an easy choice for everything from date nights to after work drinks.

Few bars in Sydney have a story quite like this one. Built in the 1840s, the space has lived many lives, from a boarding house to a doctor's surgery, before becoming one of the city's most atmospheric bars. The rich history, intimate rooms and welcoming service make every visit feel like you've stumbled upon one of The Rocks' best kept secrets.
