The Taphouse
Pub Venues for Hire

First licensed in December 1878, the Taphouse (then known as the Palace) stands tall today as a testament to Sydney's hard drinking past.

Set on the corner of Flinders and South Dowling streets with two original levels, plus an open-air rooftop bar added in 2009, the venue is situated close to the CBD while still enjoying the leafy surrounds of Darlinghurst and Paddington.

The pub became Sydney's very first craft beer venue in 2008, when it was reimagined into its current form, pouring hundreds of different craft beers over its 60 taps each year.

Since then, the venue has gone from strength to strength, winning Best Beer Bar at the 2019 Timeout Bar Awards, and taking the top spot in Beer & Brewer's 2019 Best Beer Venue awards.

The Taphouse offers three function spaces to hire for almost any event.

Middle Events Level - their most popular event space, is situated on the middle level of the Taphouse, features its own bar with 20 beer taps. The perfect private space for all events large or small

The luscious open-air rooftop garden, situated on the top floor is the crown jewel of the Taphouse, featuring its own bar. The newest and most popular space boasts a unique outdoor experience.
