Upstairs At The Bank - Now Open!

Newtown now has yet another funky small bar : Upstairs At The Bank.

As part of our ongoing refurbishments to King Street's landmark Bank Hotel, we were invited to transform the largely under-utilized lounge on level one into a late night cocktail bar and live music venue in it's own right.

Ascending the neon-lit staircase from street level, the space unfolds as something between an American dive bar and a 1960s underground London nightclub. It's dark, vintage, hip, and with at least a 4:00am closing time, it's set to become the late night hang for savvy Newtown locals.

We would like to applaud Solotel for their vision, and we're certain it will be a resounding success. After all, where else would you want to go when the other Newtown small bars close at midnight?

Stay tuned for more of our Bank Hotel refurbishment updates.
