Redfern is about to get much cooler with the November opening of The Eve, a stylish new hotel boasting 102 luxurious rooms, two distinct dining experiences, and poolside relaxation.
This boutique project by TFE Hotels, the team behind Brisbane’s The Calile, is taking a fresh approach by entrusting its entire food and beverage operation to local hospitality group Liquid & Larder.
This partnership departs from the usual hotel playbook of enlisting a celebrity chef. Instead, Liquid & Larder, known for its trendy bars like The Rover and the meat-centric Bistecca, will bring its edgy, street-smart Sydney vibe to The Eve. They’ll oversee an all-day bar and restaurant on the lobby level and a rooftop Mexican restaurant featuring a mezcaleria and poolside dining.
James Bradey, co-owner of Liquid & Larder, sees this as an exciting opportunity. He believes their experience creating vibrant, welcoming spaces will draw in hotel guests, Redfern locals, and a wider Sydney crowd. “We don’t have the hotel culture of Asia where you get what I call over-servicing,” Bradey notes. Australians are more laidback than that.”
The Eve is nestled within the burgeoning Wunderlich Lane precinct, joining other established Sydney hospitality players. The Potts Point’s The Apollo team will launch Olympus restaurant in late 2024, and a pizzeria from the owner of Pyrmont’s acclaimed LuMi is also in the works. The group behind CBD favourite Hinchcliff House will also open two new venues.
While Liquid & Larder’s Mexican restaurant concept is new, Bradey is confident in its ability to deliver. He emphasises that their shared vision with TFE Hotels to create Sydney’s best hotel experience was critical in their decision to take on this project.
With its prime location, stylish design, and Liquid & Larder’s culinary expertise, The Eve is poised to become a new hotspot in Redfern. It’s a testament to the suburb’s evolving landscape and a sign of exciting things.
