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’s 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.

We also serve daily breakfast, available to in-house guests and the public alike, making it the perfect spot to kickstart your morning with a 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 coffee or a cheeky midday session.

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