Brought to you by the creators of Sonora, Carbon and Taqiza, Sydney is now home to a buzzing, beachfront rum bar.

Inspired by a time when Americans would flock to Cuba to seek refuge from the constraints of prohibition, La Palma is a fantastical time-warp and an ode to 1920s and 1930s-era Havana. That means you can expect a whole heap of elaborate cocktails, rattan seating, wicker lights and even a timber-clad bar sealed with a marble bar top for a touch of elegance.

The food here is largely influenced by Caribbean flavours. The cocktail line-up is a solid mix of classics and originals. You’ll find staples like the “Old Cuban”, mojito and piña coladas, however, if you’re feeling adventurous, we suggest you work your way through the slightly edgy signature creations.
