We had a blast playing here last Saturday for a 40th birthday party! Everything went smoothly and everyone enjoyed the night. We'd like to thank Greta, Ben and the whole team for assisting us! Looking forward to be back here!

5 Star Review by Ryan Michael Tyson
If I could give this place 10 stars I would. We booked our wedding at the Hollywood Hotel and honestly we couldn't have picked a better place. Ben and his team went above and beyond to make our day so special. Ben is a superstar and runs the venue like a well oiled machine. His staff are positive, friendly, and kept totally calm even when under the the pump. I can't recommend this place enough if you are thinking of having a private party. Even if you are just in Surry Hills and you want a quiet drink or you want to attend a live gig. This is a Sydney institution and in my opinion is the real heart and soul of the city. Thanks again Ben and the HH team. You made our wedding the best it possibly could be. Ryan n Joel xx
3 Star Review by Grant Stephens
Typical bar for the area, not real flash, limited tap range, getting to the Gents is arguably an ever increasing challenge as the night progresses as one gentleman discovered. I would urge the barkeep to refrain from making Dark & Stormy's with post-mix ginger ale: ruins the experience.
5 Star Review by Seb Sg
A wonderful and genuine expression of the personalities of the people who run the place. Absolutely fun, welcoming, open, and friendly : )
3 Star Review by Gerald L M
Great location and vibe. The owner is super friendly and generous. Unfortunately, some of the staff members were pushy. The girl picking up the glasses tried to take away my full drink. I made it very clear that I wasn't going to allow it. Her reply "I'm doing my job" was a joke. Go a have fun... But keep an eye on your drinks!
1 Star Review by M Ciccone
Security guy needs to be friendlier and the DJ is super jaded. And the bar woman was clearing our drinks away and they were still full!!! We had to say hey theyre still full. I mean!!!!!!! Sorry HH What a shame
