Kinselas

Directions Website

One of Sydney's iconic venues, Kinselas boasts an intriguing history. Kinselas now lays claim to being the friendliest and most welcoming bar in Darlinghurst.

Set right in the heart of Sydney's Taylor Square, Kinselas Hotel is one of the city's iconic venues.
$16 Pub Classics, Lunch & Dinner. $7 Happy Hour, Beer, Wine & Spirits 7-9 DAILY! The Chapel, with its high and ornate art deco ceilings, is a striking tribute to the building's history as a funeral parlour. It was the headquarters of Charles Kinsela, Undertaker, from 1933 until 1982; at which time it was converted into a restaurant that can boast the names Tony Bilson and Tetsuya Wakuda.
