Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

After an evening at the Civic Theatre, we were looking for a nightcap before heading back to our hotel. We had walked past the Washington earlier with no time to call in so this was our choice.

It was warm (great on a Winter’s night) and buzzing. There was nothing on the cocktail menu to ‘grab us’ and mentioned that we weren’t Whisky drinkers. This formed a slight challenge and we were given excellent seats at the end of the bar and looked after for the next hour by Felix, the manager. What a fabulous hour where we tasted three different styles of Whisky including a local one.

Our favourite was the Classic Laddie and not only did we walk away ‘converts to Whisky’ but also went and bought a bottle the next day before leaving Orange!

Fabulous place and excellent staff and fun to watch the various cocktails being mixed and served.

We had after dinner drinks in a Mon night and again enjoyed the great hospitality and knowledgable staff. We tried their suggestions after telling them what our tastes are and as usual, they made some very nice suggestions. We had a cocktail after that - I really enjoyed my rum/vanilla/nutmeg/citrus cocktail and my husband loved his passion fruit gin cocktail. It was a quiet night but we hope they continue to open on Mondays as we are often in Orange on a Sun and Mon night. Absolutely Love the interesting decor and variety of music. So wish we had something similar in our Sydney neighbourhood!

Very surprised to find this little gem... friendly staff and a solid selection of whiskies that would give many a larger city bar a run for their money. And some great happy hour deals in terms of beers, cocktails and spirits.

Went to Orange for a long weekend, and loved every minute of it, great place, friendly people, all the pubs and restaurants were great, Washington is anything but. Ordered two gins with soda water, apparently they carbonate their own soda, which meant instead of anything carbonated, it was completely flat, and was the same as tap water.
When asked about it, was told basically told that’s what they do, and it was freshly carbonated, and basically told to stick it. Went to the pub around the corner for soda that actually had bubbles. Not hard. And apparently if you order soda that means they don’t garnish your drinks.
Place is pretentious and hopeless in a hub of awesome joints, go elsewhere.
Would expect this level of poor service in a big city but not here.

Quaint bar in the centre of town. We stopped in for some drinks before heading to the pub. Really good vibe and the staff are super friendly. They don't take bookings but the staff did their best to accommodate us at a busy time. The espresso martinis are delish!

Enjoyed a long weekend in Orange, visiting a few vineyards and pubs. Such a lovely part of the country.

We stumbled across this place one night after dinner and was blown away! Such a great vibe, with super helpful staff and great drink selection.

Cocktails were really well made, the Strawberry Daiquiri was easily the best I’ve tasted. Such a simple drink executed brilliantly.

Thank you so much team, we can’t wait to make it our first stop next time we are in town. Xx

Great small bar with a menu set around whiskey and cocktails. Love the music selection being played at the right volume. Good service by passionate staff. Even has a few games available to play while enjoying your drinks. A must visit when in Orange.

The two good guys running Washington & Co are doing a great job. We stopped in for a drink - got brilliantly welcomed, genuine conversation and followed up by an outstanding Old Fashioned. So good we came back the next day to do it again.
Nice work guys - this is our sort of bar!

The best vibe. How could you not love a hole in the wall hidden gem of a bar? Bar tenders were cheery, well versed and offered a great welcoming vibe. Daily happy hour is epic and the range is awesome.
