The Tilbury Hotel Has Unveiled Its First Revamp in 12 Years
From the design team behind ACME and Barrio Cellar.
Woolloomooloo icon, The Tilbury, has been revamped just in time for summer. Designers Luchetti Krelle (the same people behind the design of ACME and Barrio Cellar) have used their magic to turn it into a bright and breezy space with plenty of wood tones, gold and a splash of pastel blue. In fact, the whole colour palette screams modern maritime.
This major overhaul of the interior, courtyard and upstairs area is the pub's first in twelve years. The restaurant has plenty of natural light and the chairs look like they're wearing snuggly jumpers. Hooray for extra comfort during your dinner! For those who prefer a warm breeze, balmy summer afternoons are just around the corner and the revamped courtyard is the perfect spot for some after-work drinks or a lazy meal. Owner Scott Whitehouse wants to "give people a more relaxed experience when visiting the hotel... without jeopardising the already simple classic style."
Interior renovations usually go hand in hand with menu changes and this is no different. With head chef James Wallis behind the pass, The Tilbury has a new produce-driven grill menu for you to enjoy with your mates. It's fine gastropub fare-focused with dishes like Moroccan spiced lamb rump and a Black Angus rump (with a marbling score of three). We've got our eye on the 64 percent Valhrona chocolate mousse with vanilla ice cream though — washed down with a Riesling or a pint of pale ale. This is one local that's keeping things up to date.
Find The Tilbury at 12-18 Nicholson St, Woolloomooloo.
