Website | EmailOriginally built for the Tattersall's Hotel in 1883, this marvellous bar was rescued from destruction by the Hilton Hotel and installed in the basement in the early 1970s. A firm favourite with Sydneysiders it is a riot of indulgent Italianate gold, marble and rococo extravaganzas and a very nice place to have a drink and listen to live music. Graceful arches, glorious stained glass ceilings and doors and a carved bar make this a wonderfully eccentric watering hole. There is also a gallery of original Julian Ashton paintings.
