Overview

The Royal Sovereign Hotel, known more affectionately as Darlo Bar, has long been the inner city lounge room of Darlinghurst locals. With a good selection of beers on tap, chips to snack on served up in wooden bowls, a pool table and a room full of kitsch, cosy lounges, it's hard to find a reason not to sit here all Sunday long.

And that's only downstairs. Upstairs there's a garden playground, known also as the cocktail bar. It's a bright and beautiful open courtyard, perfect for a Gin and Tonic on a summer's day.

Darlo offers happy hours six days a week, while the seventh plays host to $10 local jugs and Bloody Marys. There's a Pool Comp. downstairs on Tuesdays, while upstairs there's a free movie night from 7.30. Wednesdays feature Texas Chainsaw Trivia hosted by none other than local anti-celebrity Jay Katz, along with Miss Death and Coffin Ed.

With delicious food options delivered from a selection of restaurants just around the corner, including the ultra appropriate Burger Joint, and accommodation upstairs, the best part is you never ever have to leave.
