Did you know that before the site became home to various establishments, such as bars, restaurants, and retail spaces since 1990, it was first a neighbourhood pub for more than a hundred years?
The Victorian building, situated on George St and just a few minutes walk from the Redfern Station, was established in 1853. It began as a small pub known as the ‘Royal Albert Hotel.’ During the early 1900’s, a second level was added to the building as it opened as The Court House Hotel.
When hospitality group W. Short Hospitality acquired the site five years ago, they decided to restore it in its original form as a pub.
“The Redfern boasts a true-to-its-name Public Bar on the ground floor. The façade has been entirely transformed with teal tiles and stained timber frames around the windows looking out to the streets of Redfern,” stated in their website.
Highlights on the menu include classics such as pasta, pizza, schnitzel, and burgers in addition to a ‘secret’ pasta and pie by the slice that will be launched every week.
With a menu sure to please all taste buds, 26 tapped beers on offer, along with a selection of wines, live sports on TV, The Redfern will surely be a place where locals can hang out comfortably.
It’s located in the same building as Misfits, a retro-inspired bar also owned and operated by the W. Short Hospitality. It promises a livelier venue, where you can dance and party whilst sipping on contemporary cocktails.
The Redfern is open daily, from 10:00 a.m. until late. Walk-ins are welcome but they encourage bookings as tables can be limited at times. Visit their website to book a table or follow them on Facebook and on Instagram @theredfernhotel for updates.
In compliance with NSW’s new regulations for hospitality venues, The Redfern requires proof of vaccination for all guests. For more information about the state’s updated Covid-19 regulations, visit www.nsw.gov.au.
