RAISING THE BAR

Sydney cocktail bar Maybe Sammy has scooped the Michter’s Art of Hospitality Award as part of The World’s 50 Best Bars 2020. The gong is given to one bar that the academy – a 540-member panel of industry experts – voted as their single best hospitality experience from January 2019 to March 2020. Located at The Rocks, Maybe Sammy takes inspiration from Hollywood’s golden age of the 1950s; bar staff are decked out in matching doublebreasted pale pink jackets, guests are sprayed with bubbles on arrival, and cocktails are delivered with smooth service and theatrical flair. You’ll also find a mini Martini happy hour, which sees seven different half-serve Martinis served up for just $5.50, from 4.30-5.30pm, daily. maybesammy.com
