Thank you for being you – for so long!!

Thank you for creating an always welcoming space with a friendly team who care about our city’s culture and arts. You will be missed.

I don’t remember Glebe without the DD.
Best Gin and Pear in Sydney and best late evening vibes anywhere!

We used to live next door and some of best ever Sydney nights were spent closing down the Drummer. The drinks were great, the staff were lovely, and the DJ would rarely play Fleetwood Mac despite how many times we requested it, but when they did it was magic x

This place was a go to amongst my room mates who are now my best friends. We used to live 2 doors down and would come here at all times if the night.
We always had fun and always had a great chat with the people on the bar. It is the end of an era

Farewell to one of the ‘old school’ bars left in Sydney. Your salty popcorn provided a solid excuse for me to enjoy many a prosecco and fab night. Gone but never forgotten. Cheers and thanks for the memories xxx

Save the DD – some great late nights had here

Business like TDD are what make Glebe special. They should be supported however possible. Drum on!

Don’t be a dog, keep the bar and prevent yet another empty store front for greedy land bankers.

Ever since I first moved to Glebe, Different Drummer has been the hang out spot. The staff are always friendly and the cocktails and food always delicious. It’s nice to walk into a place where you know people, and you know you’re going to have a nice night. I wouldn’t say it was a key factor in me buying an apartment just down the road, but I did think how good it would be to have the best cocktail bar in Sydney only a few minutes away. Sydney needs more places like Different Drummer, I will miss it dearly!

Different Drummer has been one of my favourite places since I moved to Glebe in 2016. I don’t have a lot of money so can’t afford to go often, but it’s where I treat myself whenever I have a bit of extra cash or visitors come to town. I am so grateful for the wonderful staff, especially those who have been there for years and are always up for a chat. I can’t help but feel it’s a great place to work given how rare it is for people to stay in hospitality jobs, and it’s so nice to see familiar faces every time I walk in. And it’s not just the staff who are familiar. There is nowhere else I go that I recognise the other customers as regulars. Different Drummer is special and it’s upsetting to lose it for any reason.
