Pub Reivew: Pyrmont Bridge Hotel, Sydney

Pyrmont Bridge Hotel is a pub located in the inner-city Sydney suburb of Pyrmont. The venue is one of the area’s most historic pubs having operated from the corner of 96 Union Street since 1858.

The pub was originally known as the Native Youth Hotel before it was renamed as Boylan’s Hotel in 1913. The venue would change its name again in the 1930s becoming the Montgomery Hotel a name it would hold for most of the 20th Century. During the 1960s and 1970s the pub became known as Monty’s and was one of the area’s most notorious of Sydney’s waterfront pubs.

The venue would finally become the Pyrmont Bridge Hotel in 1998 during a time of significant change in the former industrial waterfront area of Pyrmont which included the closure of traffic along the nearby Pyrmont Bridge.

Over its long history most of the historic features of the venue’s exterior and the front bar have been carefully maintained with modern additions respectful to the old school aesthetic of the venue. The modern part of the pub features open rooftop level with views over the surrounding area and part of the Sydney’s growing skyline.
