Why it's worth checking out
The Sanctuary Hotel sits on Kent Street in the heart of Sydney's CBD, near Darling Harbour. With more than 1,100 reviews behind its 4.0 rating, it has built a strong following.
The appeal is a relaxed, sociable pub with genuine character — a great spot for a beer, a feed and a bit of atmosphere, often with a lovely rooftop, handy in the middle of the city. Its central location, close to Darling Harbour, the shops and the city's nightlife, makes it an easy and welcoming destination.
Pub menus, events and trading hours shift over time, and it gets busy after work and on weekends. If you're coming for a particular occasion, a function or the kitchen, it's worth checking current details directly before you arrive.
