The Clock Hotel is situated in the heart of Surry Hills, one of Sydney’s most vibrant precincts. It is also home to one of the best old-world balconies in town, from which to enjoy top notch food, a glass of wine and Crown Street’s vibe.
Set over a number of levels, the Clock is a busy and stylish pub. The Street Bar -- fitted out with a sociable round bar and lined with booths -- draws in a mixed crowd, keen to unwind with an after-work drink. On Fridays, the bar is packed with a young, professional crowd ready for a big night out.
For cocktails, head to the upstairs Balcony Bar. Overlooking Crown Street and Shannon Reserve, this unique balcony quickly fills up with an upmarket crowd, usually with a cocktail or boutique bottle of beer in hand. Indoors, one can relax on couches and admire the contemporary art on the walls.
The fantastic menu -- ranging from mixed tapas plates to wagyu beef burgers to tempura battered barramundi fillet and chips – can be enjoyed throughout the hotel. The hotel also has a busy bottle shop, serving popular and boutique wines.
The Clock Hotel also has a great sporting atmosphere. The back Pool bar includes pool tables, a large screen and a jukebox. The pub buzzes during football finals and is particularly lively on Melbourne Cup Day. It is also a popular watering hole for fans en route to the nearby Sydney Cricket Ground and Aussie Stadium.
