Bobbie's is a New York-inspired cocktail bar. Walk-ins welcome or make a reservation. At Bobbie's it's all about mid-century furnishings, plush velvet, great music, world-class cocktails and bar food curated by Neil Perry.In partnership with Linden Pride of the renowned Dante, New York, Bobbie’s has the underground energy of a New York style cocktail bar with the refined, sophisticated flair of a Neil Perry institution. It’s about keeping things in the family: when Linden was 17, he was polishing glasses at Neil’s Rockpool restaurant. In a full-circle moment, they’ve come together to showcase their passion for produce-driven experiences.Located in the basement of 24 Bay St, Double Bay, the same Neville Gruzman-designed heritage building as Neil’s Song Bird restaurant, Bobbie’s was named after Linden’s grandfather, the legendary radio broadcaster Bob Rogers, who mingled with the likes of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones in their heyday.
