“The Shakespeare” Hotel - Devonshire Street - Surry Hills

 

“The Shakespeare” Hotel - 1879 - Devonshire Street - Surry Hills 

Rising out of the backstreets of Surry Hills like a pirate ship run ashore, the Shakespeare is a Sydney treasure. 

Built in 1879 there's a kegful of charm here, be it the blue tiles cascading down the bar or the Victorian-style rooms above, every nook and cranny has a story worth telling.

 Famed for journalists, skaters, actors and all the bohemians Surry Hills could conjure, 

it's the kind of place where you can bring your dog, 

have a Reschs on the street and a schnitty at the bar — everything a pub ought to be.
