Charming. Stylish. Cheeky. The Morrison is where you want to be! Fraser Short and Sean Connolly invite you on a culinary and cocktail journey through heritage Sydney. What was the old Brooklyn Hotel is now the beautifully refurbished Morrison Bar and Oyster Room. Dine with friends at communal tables in The Oyster Room, an informal affair where you can watch centre stage as Australia’s finest oysters are shucked-to-order. The Conservatory is The Morrison’s open air dining room which offers a private but stylish setting under the stars, cocktail in hand and a la carte menu to feast on. The bustling Parlour is the destination that allows you to unwind the working week surrounded by friends for as long and late as you like. The restaurant menu is grown up, created by Culinary Director Chef Sean Connolly and showcasing his international experience and signature style of seasonal produce, cooked on the bone and in the shell wherever possible.

Venue Features
The scene
Built in 1912, The Morrison is a beautiful part of heritage Sydney, the building and exterior is in Federation/Art Noveaux style comprised of brick and sandstone. Enter through the front doors and take in the modern New York inspired interior of The Morrison's main bar, with it's tall concrete pillars, exposed brick walls, abstract light fittings and stone potted plants that decorate the space. Dotted around the bar are handsome Don Draper types sipping on an Old Fashioned, while across the room a young couple enjoy a bottle of champagne with a tray of fresh oysters. In the Conservatory, a large group of family and friends celebrate a recent birthday as they tuck into a feast of slow cooked Lamb Shoulder and Pork Hock, a starry nights sky can be seen above their heads. Through in the Parlour Bar, the merry chatter of a nearby group of colleagues grows as they clink their glasses and exchange secret santa gifts. Leave the hustle and bustle of the concrete jungle behind you, step inside, relax and enjoy the casual elegance of The Morrison. We welcome you to our home and playground - from your first sip, to the last bite, you will not be disappointed.
