The Bristol
Whether you're looking for a casual drink, a refined dinner or a big night on the tiles, you'll find it all under one roof.
Overview
What was formerly humble CBD boozer The Bristol Arms Hotel is now unrecognisable following a no-expense-spared renovation that has transformed the 126-year-old corner pub into a five-level, six-venue nightlife hotspot. On the ground floor, a smart yet laidback bar and brewery still caters to the casual pub crowd while a state-of-the-art sports bar one floor down, with massive screens ensuring there isn't a duff seat in the house, offers the perfect spot to watch a match. Also on the ground floor is Ela Ela, a refined Greek diner from ex-Alpha chef Peter Conistis, who has conceived dining options for every space in The Bristol.
Calypso, a classy nightclub complete with 200 disco balls, a next-gen sound system and cutting-edge soundproofing to keep the doof-doofs from invading other floors, takes over the first level. Above this is Midtown, an opulent cocktail lounge and jazz bar with one of the most luxurious fitouts of any new venue to open in Sydney this year. Finally, the jewel in The Bristol's crown is The Rooftop, a sunny, Mediterranean-styled bar with a menu of Greek street eats, three leafy al fresco terraces and a pretty pastel interior that wouldn't look out of place on the shores of Saint Tropez.
