Now Open: The Chippendale Hotel Has Officially Relaunched with a Completely Vegan Offering

You needn't look any further than The Chippendale Hotel for your next vegan feed. That's right — the locally beloved Sydney stalwart has introduced an all-vegan offering, dubbing itself 'Australia's first-ever fully vegan pub'.

The owner of the Chippo, Bhavani Baumann, aka Mama B (The Green Lion, Sanga), has led the charge, reimagining the locale's menu, which now sports an all-vegan take on pub classics to pair with its refurbished venue.

"Together, we're crafting a venue that's not just a pub, but a go-to spot for the community, from students and professionals to friends and family," said Baumann.

Aside from a fresh coat of paint, the Chippo is now home to an airy courtyard, as well as comfortable lounge seating and a new breakout space — replacing its pokies room — fit for business meetings, private dining, study sessions or a casual hang. Plus, its underground live performance venue, The Den, is ready to accommodate all sorts of talent, from comedians to live music acts.

As for its fully vegan fare, expect familiar dishes to make an appearance. Vegan variations of the chicken parmy, fish and chips, stacked burgers, and bangers and mash kick off the selection, with a hefty Sunday roast available at the end of the week. To round out the offerings, a 'Fancy Shit' menu featuring a vegan cheese platter and caviar waffles is soon to join the lineup.

The Chippo's sips have also scored a revamp, with newly launched cocktails and a custom Mama B Pale Ale by Yulli's Brews on offer alongside the classics.

"The Chippo is a community where everybody is welcome, and as a heritage location that holds a special place in Sydney's heart, we feel so lucky to be a part of its next chapter," said Baumann.

You'll find The Chippendale Hotel with its new fully vegan offering at 87-91 Abercrombie Street in Chippendale, open from 4pm–10pm on Monday and Tuesday, 12pm–12am Thursday–Saturday and 12pm–10pm on Sunday.
