The Taphouse, Pub with roof terrace in Darlinghurst, Sydney, Australia.
The Taphouse is a three-level pub in Darlinghurst with a rooftop space featuring a retractable roof and city views. The venue includes a bar serving local beers and Cantonese-inspired food, with seating throughout ranging from picnic tables on top to traditional pub areas below.
The building opened as the Palace Hotel in 1878 and was purchased by brewing company Tooth & Co in 1952. A complete redesign brought it to its current form in 2023.
The venue brings locals together for sports events and quiz nights throughout the week. It serves as a gathering point where people meet before heading to nearby grounds or simply to spend time with friends.
The venue is accessible most evenings and afternoons, with extended hours on weekends. It's worth checking exact opening times before visiting as they vary throughout the week.
A staircase from the 1920s connects all three floors, preserved from the building's earlier days. This original architectural detail survives amid the modern renovations, linking past and present as visitors move between levels.
