Banchō is a cocktail and whisky focused small bar in Sydney's Chinatown. We’re excited to bring a quality drinking experience to Chinatown. Our cocktails showcase local market produce and the bounty of Asian ingredients around us. Our bar features a large selection of Japanese and Scotch whisky, including rare and independent bottlings. And our bar snacks are designed to go hand in hand with the top shelf drinking to be had here at Banchō.

    Always a good experience at Banchō, attentive services. Drinks list could run a few seasonal specials as a suggestion.

    Decided to go by myself and was sat at the bar. The staff were very approachable and friendly, chatted up a storm with some. Great experience all around

    Given I had family staying for the holidays I wanted to treat them to this bar. The confirmation from OpenTable meant nothing as the bar was closed leaving me scrambling to find another venue. Very poor management to not inform OpenTable of the closure and not a great way to treat customers.
