A pub for all seasons, The Point Hotel, once again proves itself to be a quality venue.

Editorial


When you're voted one of the ten best pubs in Sydney you have something to live up to, my friend. While this is the sort of accolade that will bring the masses running to your door, the pressure's on because each and every one of them is thinking, 'does this place really deserve to be rated as one of the best?' Basically, The Point Hotel does.

Let's start with the décor. Firstly, it's a heritage listed building - always a drawcard. Secondly, it's been completely overhauled and renovated without sucking the life out of it. What remains is a light and airy bar and bistro with quality wooden furnishings, and just enough colour to add warmth but not make your head spin.

In the mood for something a little more intimate? Head upstairs to Margot's Lounge or the Karma Bar. Margot's is a plush little number, complete with padded pouffes, and a gorgeous fireplace; this is where small groups plant themselves for a long winters evening. Karma Bar has more of a laid-back Eastern atmosphere and is much more suited to a balmy night.

Now to the drinks. While their Caprioskas and Martinis are hot to trot, try their Long Island Green Tea. It was surprisingly refreshing and good value. The wine list is certainly not reinventing the wheel, but there is a good selection of some of Australia's most tried and tested. It's a solid offering to be sure.

Hungry? The food is of a high standard and varied enough to cater for all tastes.
