So sad to hear, this was our favourite bar in Sydney. Sydney is truly dying, soon we ourselves won’t be able to afford to live here. So many creatives I know are moving to Melbourne. Sydney is now just a land bank for the rich.

I’m so sad to hear about the impending closure of DD, have gone there a few times over the last two decades.

I hope we can find a way to keep it open! I’d love to attend the February meeting.

Hey Dave
MD here! I have such happy memories of The Drummer particularly the early years when the trivia crew from The Excelsior would rock up with Kev after trivia for a few rounds at the Drummer. You always poured my absinthe into a brandy snifter!
The great nights with Anth including a couple of verymemorable nights which went on for a couple of days afterwards!
Glebe will be a little greyer now that the Drummer has closed its doors but the memories will always remain and those, I will cherish!
My Best to you, Dave.. you’re a true gentleman!

I had my first date with my now husband at the Drummer, also my Hen’s night started there.
We booked the back room for a fundraising event where I had my head shaved down to 0.
Any time a friend wanted to meet for a drink, it would be the window at the Drummer. I loved people watching, talking & sipping a cocktail.
I came into Glebe with my children today to do a fruit shop & was saddened to see it closed, end of a golden era for sure.
Best wishes for whatever is next for the DD team. Thanks for being part of some key moments in my life!

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
