10 Things to Do in Potts Point (That Pair Perfectly with Tacos)
Where all good taco trails start — at Sonora.
Potts Point isn’t just one of Sydney’s most vibrant neighborhoods — it’s a feast for the senses. Leafy streets, art deco charm, tucked-away theatres, vintage markets, late-night jazz bars… and right at the center of it all?
Sonora — the home of Sydney’s most elevated tacos and mezcal-fuelled good times.
Whether you’re fuelling up before an afternoon adventure or ending a perfect day with duck carnitas and cocktails, Sonora is where every great Potts Point outing should start (and usually ends). So here it is: our curated list of 10 things to do in Potts Point — each one perfectly paired with a visit to Sonora.
1. Start at Sonora, Then Wander Through Fitzroy Gardens
Kick things off with a lunchtime taco flight and a hibiscus margarita in our sunlit dining room, then walk it off under the fig trees of Fitzroy Gardens. It’s just two minutes away — and a local favorite at golden hour.
2. Grab a Morten Bay Bug Taco, Then Dig into Rare Books
Book lovers, listen up: after lunch at Sonora, take your mezcal glow around the corner to Elizabeth’s Bookshop and browse one of Sydney’s best collections of second-hand treasures.
3. Pre-Game with Mezcal, Then Head to a Film at Golden Age
Dinner at Sonora sets the perfect mood before heading to Golden Age Cinema in nearby Surry Hills. Think Negronis, tostadas, and just enough time to catch a 9pm cult classic.
4. Refuel Post-Swim at Andrew (Boy) Charlton Pool
After a morning dip in this harbour-side gem, nothing hits quite like a spicy margarita and baja fish taco. Boy Charlton Pool is just a short walk away — your perfect pre-lunch ritual.
5. Shop the Potts Point Vintage Market, Then Taco It Up
Held monthly in Fitzroy Gardens, this market is a vintage treasure hunt. Once you’ve scored a leather jacket or retro sunnies, swing by Sonora for lamb barbacoa and esquites.
6. Line Up Your Night at Kellett Street Bars
Start your night at Sonora with a mezcal tasting board, then wander down Kellett Street to Jangling Jack’s or Dulcie’s for a cocktail crawl through Potts Point’s best laneway.
7. Dinner & a Show? Always.
Catch a performance at the Hayes Theatre — but not without fuelling up first. Our pre-theatre taco set is fast, flavorful, and unforgettable.
8. Explore the Australian Museum After Dark
On Thursdays, the Australian Museum opens late for talks and pop-up bars. Pre-game with duck carnitas and a spicy mezcal at Sonora before heading over.
9. Brunch at Room Ten, Tacos by Sundown
Morning caffeine from Room Ten, tacos by sunset at Sonora. That’s what we call balance.
10. End (or Begin) Your Adventure at Sonora
Let’s be honest — no Potts Point day is complete without a visit to Sonora. Whether it’s your first stop, last stop, or the reason you came in the first place, our tacos are always worth the detour.
