The Carlisle Castle Hotel - Newtown - Sydney - New South Wales

 

The Carlisle Castle Hotel - 1876 - Newtown - Sydney - New South Wales 

Somewhat sheltered from the madness of Sydney's most eclectic suburb,

 if you're lucky enough to stumble across the Carlisle Castle then prepare to be floored by Australia's best-looking old-school bar.

 Built in 1876, the Carlisle was refitted by Reschs in the twenties to include a glorious (and damn expensive) marble bar from Italy. 

It became the centrepiece of a hotel long adored by artists, musicians and locals. 

There's also a pool table, a dartboard, a piano parlour and more often than not, 

a dog on a stool enjoying a pint (of water). 

It's perfectly, unashamedly, Newtown.
