THE COMMONS Local Eating House & DOWNTOWN Bar are simple, calm and beautiful environments that take pride in the city’s culinary and cultural resources: it’s a getaway in the city, where you’re in the city but feel you’re away from it!
The Commons Local Eating House indulges Sydney locals with seasonally influenced, ingredient-focused cuisine. The name ‘THE COMMONS’ refers to the ‘shared environmental and cultural resources of a city’, and we are proud to support Sydney producers wherever we can. Our produce is sourced as ethically as possible, with meat coming from trusted suppliers who are committed to good animal husbandry, we make all attempts to find out where our seafood comes from, utilize fresh produce from around Sydney, and support local artisan food makers. The Commons is a celebration of Australia and food & wine inspired by it: the perfect convivial setting for a meal served family style.
Built in 1850 it was formerly a dairy farmhouse with convict common gardens located on the corner of the site.
The building itself is a tribute to Darlinghurst’s heritage architecture with its sandstone walls, original features throughout, convict markings still visible in the basement larder now a intimate cocktail bar “Downtown”: hide away from the busy hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy a good ol’ drink and some of the best blues and jazz in town.
