What Chad Torphy doesn't like about Hinky Dinks:
I have always quite enjoyed Hinky Dinks, even though it's definitely on the pricey side and most cocktails will cost you about $20 each. It's a cute little space and the food is good. However, the last time I went I discovered they'd implemented a mandatory gratuity. Forced tipping is NOT a thing in Australia - it is something I will do at my own discretion when the staff have actually warranted it through exceptiona... View all feedback. What Glennie Romaguera likes about Hinky Dinks:
Used Hinky Dinks as a bar to meet before dinner up the road (Fu Manchu) and certainly hit the mark. Service was good and great range of gins, vodkas and whiskeys. Didn't eat so cannot comment on food but would love to try their Reuben Sandwich. Cocktails drinks aren't cheap though. View all feedback.

I'm not much of a cocktail person but $50 for two drinks is shocking

This bar is quite small but you can get many kinds of cocktail and beer. It's very interesting if you want to try their cocktail. Taste nice!

Hinky Dinks, a 1960's cool and trendy bar, offers a great vibe and delicious cocktails according to its visitors. The unique decor and friendly staff make this a popular spot for drinks and food. While some reviewers were impressed with the inventive cocktails and exceptional food quality, others were put off by the high prices and mandatory gratuity policy. Overall, the consensus seems to be that Hinky Dinks is a stylish and fun place to enjoy expertly crafted drinks and tasty Americana fare in a relaxed atmosphere.

Hinky Dinks brings back Mad Men-esque 60's cool, with relaxed surroundings and a cocktail menu strong enough for a 1960's advertising executive. I've been here...
