The Phoenix Hotel is found on the eastern fringes of Sydney, in the vibrant suburb of Woollahra. This cutting-edge bar and eatery brings together the traditional, timelessly tasty recipes of the Mediterranean islands and marries them with the no-nonsense beauty of hearty Australian cooking, meaning that whenever you stroll through The Phoenix's welcoming doors, you'll do so safe in the knowledge that your taste buds are in for a treat like they've never savoured before.
Our establishment isn't just about the food, however. Behind our bar, you'll find craft beers with bizarre names, a whole host of delectable wines, popular brews and (we're really proud of these) a selection of cocktails which draw you in simply by their quirky names. Where else would you find a Greek Island Iced Tea, or an I Carried A Watermelon? Nowhere, that's where. And craft beers? We bet that you've never heard of a Fat Nerd, let alone tried one. You will, though. And it's beautifully tasty.
We're an establishment that welcomes all walks of life into our doors (even giraffes). Whether you're looking for a great bite to eat and a relaxing beer after a long, hard day chained to a desk, or just fancy kicking back with a few mates before the big game, you'll find a friendly face behind the bar at The Phoenix. Just pop in and say hello.
We're also pretty into arranging private bookings for those special occasions that crop up from time to time. We're talking birthdays, engagement parties, romantic meals for two, and so forth. You name it, we'll probably do it. Why not bring that high-risk client to our place for a nice beer or two and a scrumptious dinner? You'll be bound to make a great impression when he or she walks into our freshly-refurbished, modern space.
We try to make sure that we don't let things get dull, either. This means that we're always putting on special events for our customers, whether it's for the Melbourne Cup or any other big sporting event, we've usually got something going on. As for food and drink, well, we're always looking at funky, new ideas - you don't know what we might come up with next!
So, a little bit more about our business. The Phoenix Hotel is owned and run by three brothers of Greek heritage, each of them looking to inject a little bit of vibrant change and pure, unadulterated excitement into the stagnating Sydney pub scene. We wanted to do things a little differently, and with The Phoenix Hotel, we think that we may well have achieved it - but we'll leave that up to our customers to decide.
Those three brothers - William, Andrew and Alex Cooney, all have a wealth of experience in the entertainment quarter, which brings with it a triumvirate of expertise as to how to run a successful dining establishment. Their Mediterranean background means that they also deliver a cosmopolitan slice of culture to The Phoenix, transforming a once dark, dank space into something bright, fresh and new.
The analogy may be a clunky one, but you can see why we refer to The Phoenix having risen from the ashes. Today, it's a living, breathing bar made great by its patrons, who bring with them their positive vibes that just add to the sheer atmosphere of the place. They bring with them their friends and family, and they bring theirs along the following week. This means that we just keep on adding to the Phoenix Hotel family, and we want you to be part of it too, so come on down and join us at the bar for a drink - you won't be disappointed!
