Potts Point Hotel Opens Today

What was the Sugarmill Hotel in Kings Cross is now the Potts Point Hotel.

Potts Point Hotel

The Potts Point Hotel opened with a brand-new fitout, a designated dining space along with a separate bar area and outdoor seating. The venue breathes new life into an area that has suffered due to Sydney’s lockout laws.

Headed by General Manager Chris Jolliffe, Head Chef Tushad Bamji and Head Bartender Rollo Anderson (ex The Rook), the pub is set to be a pub that the residents will seek to make their local.

The food menu is modern smokehouse-style with meats smoked daily with native woods for up to 8 hours. Dishes include Sticky beef spare-ribs, Carolina pulled pork shoulder, Kansas style buttermilk chicken and Grain fed Riverina Angus beef brisket, served with pickles and corn bread.
