Clare Bar

Clare Bar is a refreshing take on your traditional watering hole, embracing the same ethos that made its prior incarnation so beloved. Striking the balance between a chilled Aussie pub and a hotel bar, it’s a place to relax, have a drink and have a chat.

We’ve kept the room’s original wall tiles and inclusive attitude, where locals, travellers, artists and everyone in-between is welcome to gather around the large curved bar. The outdoor seating area overlooks the bustling Broadway and Kensington Streets, perfect for people watching and soaking up the city vibes. Whether it be for a cheeky midday beer with lunch or cocktails and snacks in the evening, Clare Bar is a place to hang out solo, with friends or for special occasions. And if you’re after more than a drink, we often host events and all kinds of fun gatherings.

Whether you’re staying in house, or passing by, fuel up and start the day right with our tidy menu of Aussie classics. Got work to do? No worries, you can tap away all day with free wi-fi. Choose between our booth or outdoor seating for a quick meeting over a beer or a cheeky midday session.

We’re now taking reservations for groups of all sizes.
