Our House | A two month long festival of good times & ch*****ne moments in the heart of the city. Spread over three levels, Shell House is an unparalleled hospitality experience in the Sydney C*D, combining both indoor and outdoor settings over 1,250 sqm of space. This includes a ground floor bar, the Menzies Bar, the Shell House Dining Room and Terrace, and the Clocktower Bar on level 9 and the Shell House Sky Bar on Level 10. Blending mood, sophistication, and spontaneity, the design of Shell House has been driven by an eclectic mix of multifaceted organic tones and textures that allude to an all-new perspective on fun inner-city dining. Natural materials, neutral colours, hand-crafted design, and vintage pieces are used throughout the rooftop venue, to create an approachable and enjoyable meeting place that embodies a new kind of laid-back luxury. Located on the Ground Floor of Shell House in Sydney's C*D - The Menzies Bar & Bistro is our all day dining option. Paying homage to the legendary Menzies Hotel, The Menzies Bar is a true labour of love, where obsession with history, hospitality and good times are woven together to deliver a bar legitimately unique to the Sydney C*D. The Rooftop provides diners with a bird’s eye view of the building’s iconic 400-tonne clock tower, which has been lovingly restored after being suspended mid-air for several years while Shell House was excavated and rebuilt. The Shell House Bar team have delivered a line-up of snacks and drinks made for conviviality among friends - the perfect mood setters to take in fresh perspectives of the Sydney cityscape. Housed within the 400-tonne iconic clock, it is an immersive space lined in timber joinery to capture the heritage and the grandeur of the 1930’s Art Deco period, and its Italianate architecture. The room is elevated and animated by the soaring void of the clocktower above, along with the fully restored and operating clock mechanisms. This indulgent bar is a truly unique destination within Shell House, exploring the depth of classic cocktails and understanding the grand old story of Shell House. Sitting next to the Clocktower Bar, we have the heart & soul of Shell House - The Dining Room & Terrace. The Dining Room is classic in theory, yet modern and forward-thinking in practice. It is elegant and grand, but approachable at the same time. The menu created by Culinary Director Joel Bickford and Head Chef, Aaron Ward, focuses on carefully sourced produce, presenting simple, refined dishes that are infused with Australian provenance yet bear the mark of the Mediterranean way of life. Reservations for all of Shell House are now open - www.shellhouse.com.au

DRY-AGED KORBUTA PORK CHOP
With burnt pear, salted turnip & hot mustard.

“We dry-age the whole loins for 7–10 days before portioning into chops and marinating them in fermented onion, allspice, black pepper, brown sugar and lime.

Grilled to order, the marinade caramelises over the flames, enhancing the pork and cutting through its rich, natural fat.” - Head Chef Jarrod Walsh
