Forbes Tavern Hotel reviews
5 Star Review by Antoine M
Added to the State Heritage building as a historical significant corner hotel in York Street Sydney. Described as Federation Anglo Dutch style architecture with red brick parapet and wrought iron balconette. You wouldn't miss this beautiful old hotel as it's like a red brick maiden in amongst modern architectures! I believe the last business traded from here has closed permanently. A stunning addition to the history and heritage of this beautiful city.
