The Rose of Australia | 1 Swanson St | Erskineville

“Established in 1876 and rebuilt in 1932, the Art Deco interiors of the main bar remain the social hub of Erskineville village. Renown for an eclectic mix of residents, students, urban professionals and local identities, this old boozer might find you locking eyes with celebrities, media personalities or sporting icons over the famous island bar. Enjoy the outdoor street seating, sports vision and “lies and laughter” from your favourite bar-staff. Climb the stairs to four functions spaces, relaxed cocktails or just a quiet place to disappear from life.”
