Royal Hotel, Multi-level pub and rooftop bar in Paddington, Sydney, Australia.
The Royal Hotel is a four-storey venue with a sports bar on the ground floor, a gastro pub on the second level, and a cocktail bar on the rooftop terrace. From the top, you can see across Sydney's eastern suburbs and city skyline.
The hotel was established in 1888 and has been a social gathering place in Paddington for over 130 years. Over the decades, it has hosted many generations of patrons and local community celebrations.
The venue attracts locals and travelers who come for the mix of traditional pub traditions and contemporary dining. The rooftop terrace with its English garden style creates a welcoming meeting place where people gather throughout the day.
The venue opens daily from mid-morning and serves food from noon onwards, with extended hours on most days. Weekend brunches and special offers on Saturday afternoons give you good reasons to visit during different times.
The rooftop is decorated with vintage-style chairs, round tables, green hedges, and hanging lanterns that create an English garden feel. This design contrasts surprisingly with expansive views of Sydney's modern urban landscape.
