Such a grand location for a drink and light bite to eat. Was so glad to have walked into this bar. Such a high ceilings and the bar was beautiful. A great place to have a drink with some very beautiful decor to admire around you. We were just leaving as some live music was starting up as we had somewhere else to be - but would love to return and catch the place with some music. We were enjoying this drink in the Rabbit Hole on the ground floor of this establishment. There are other levels to explore. so maybe next time

The food and drinks were fantastic, and I love the feeling of the rabbit bar. It looks unassuming from the outside and a few people appeared confused about how to get in, so maybe some clearer signage would help first time visitors.

A hidden gem in the heart of Sydney, ArtHouse Hotel is where classic charm meets modern elegance. The venue is absolutely stunning, with intricate decor, floral installations, and dramatic lighting that sets a luxurious yet welcoming tone. From the whimsical rabbit statue at the entrance to the grand bar area adorned with hanging flowers, every corner is full of character and Instagram-worthy moments. We enjoyed a bottle of Young Poets Pinot Grigio, which was crisp and refreshing, served perfectly chilled. The service was friendly and attentive, and the staff made sure our experience was seamless from start to finish. The space is versatile too — whether you’re stopping by for a quiet glass of wine or planning a vibrant evening with friends, ArtHouse delivers. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates great drinks in a beautifully curated setting.

Came in for lunch with mates. We all had chicken schnitzel with mushroom sauce which was had a nice crispy coating and was moist. Chips were perfectly seasoned and the steamed veggies were nice and al dente. The nachos were ok also. Food and drink prices were reasonable for the area. Service was very nice and friendly, however food took forever to come out. I really didnt like the layout either, bar looked amazing and modern but overall layout of tables and seating looked a tad haphazard IMO

Had a work lunch. The Venue is lovely and the staff were friendly and the prices reasonable especially for Christmas. I had the lamb ragu, very nice and was a good price. A colleague had the Duck Reuben, looked amazing and they said it was very nice. The only criticism was the ordering with the QR code, it was confusing in a group setting and it wasn't explained that we could have ordered at the bar. We had to check several times if the order had been received and was correct, the response was " it's a third party app mate we have no control". Very frustrating. But this was the only detraction.
