Pub Review: Cat & Fiddle Hotel, Balmain, Sydney

The Cat & Fiddle Hotel is a pub located in Balmain, an inner west suburb of Sydney. The pub originally opened in 1930 as the Star Hotel.

The pub became a popular live music venue in the 1980s and 90s hosting early concerts for many of Sydney’s alternative rock bands from the era.

Interiors have been extensively renovated in recent years converting the venue into a modern gastro pub, a more refined space that reflects the changing demographic of the surrounding area.
