A Gin Bar Evening In The Rocks

Settle into timber, sandstone and a deep gin list at Frank Mac's on George Street.

Frank Mac's is built for the kind of evening that starts with one carefully made drink and turns into a proper catch-up. Our bar leans into gin, cocktails and the old Sydney texture of The Rocks: sandstone, timber, leather, candlelight and compact rooms made for conversation.

What To Share With Drinks

Boards, paninis, pies and small plates give the drinks list something generous to sit beside.

The menu keeps the table easy: sourdough and butter, marinated olives, arancini, herb salted fries, cheese boards, charcuterie, paninis and pies. It is food designed to sit naturally beside gin, wine and cocktails.
