Just when you thought the night was over, someone dragged you into a random doorway down an alley in Darlinghurst and now it feels like you’ve fallen down a rabbit hole. Shady Pines Saloon is a world of cowboys and taxidermy buffalo heads and peanuts everywhere and an overall damn good time. Your first move? A shot of bourbon at the bar. There are plenty of beers and cocktails too - but use this for what it is: a truly excellent dive bar.
