Saga Bar, a jungle-themed bar in Chippendale that looks like it has come straight out of an action-adventure film, has been getting raves for its exotic vibes and unique selection of cocktails.

Stepping inside feels like visiting a set of an adventure-action film. Think Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom or Uncharted–there are creeping vines, palm trees, stone walls and a large mural that will make you feel like you’re instantly transported into a tropical paradise without leaving the city.
Hidden behind two wooden doors within the laneways next door to Spice Alley, one wouldn’t think there’s a fantastic world that awaits inside. It’s like a modern-day speakeasy–you’ll have to ring the bell to enter the place.
The bar is well-stocked with carefully curated cocktails, spritzers, and non-alcoholic cocktails that all go perfectly with their flavoursome and distinct dishes, such as the fries with togarashi, pork belly bao, and Sydney rock oysters.
The dishes, which combine African, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian cuisines, were all inspired by Chef Deke’s upbringing in Zambia, Africa.
Ideal for groups, the sharing dishes include cured crispy pork, Nepalese pizza and the signature Saga steak, a scotch fillet served with sweet potato wedges, greens, and Monkey Gland gravy.
If you want to check out this hidden gem, visit them at 49-51 Goold St, Chippendale. For bookings and more information about the bar, visit their website or check out their official Facebook page.
