The Nelson Hotel

The Nelson Hotel A little local with a big heart 🍻
Bondi Junction // Est. 1938

There is something for everyone at The Nelson Hotel.

The Nelson Hotel was opened in September 1938 by Victor Toohey – one of many Inter War hotels built in response to the introduction of early closing hours. The iconic long, oval front bar of the Nelo was designed by Tooths and Tooheys, the two major breweries of the time, to ensure the rapid sale of beer during the day’s notorious ‘six o’clock swill’. Today The Nelson Hotel remains true to its pas

t. The famous oval bar is still in tact, the art deco interiors are untouched and the original mottle face tiling across the exterior of the hotel still stands tall on the west end of Bondi Junction. Come and enjoy a cold beer, a cheeky glass of vino and some great food at a favourite local.
