ABOUT US

The Ship Inn has been a cornerstone of Sydney’s iconic history, originally standing tall a few metres closer to the Quay, from 1868 until it was rebuilt on its current site in 1902 directly over the mouth of the Tank Stream, on blackbutt timber piles driven 30 metres deep into the harbour mudflats. Given an art-deco makeover by Tooth’s Brewery in 1936, the Ship has now been reimagined in with a nod to its rich deco heritage, seamlessly blending timeless elegance with contemporary sophistication.

Nestled between two of Australia’s most famous landmarks – the Opera House and Harbour Bridge – our venue celebrates its storied past while offering warm hospitality and a true Sydney welcome.

Step into a world of refined indulgence at the Ship Inn. Our Art Deco-inspired interior sets the stage for you to enjoy a wide selection of Australian and international gins, whiskeys, wines and beers, alongside a menu crafted from the freshest produce Sydney has to offer.

Open ‘til late every night of the week, our boutique bar & bistro offers a welcoming escape for Sydneysiders, visitors, and anyone looking to relax and take their time in a stylish, one-of-a-kind venue right in the heart of Sydney.
