The city’s best dressed heritage pub awaits you, for a quick afterwork drink, a pub classic for lunch, or a settle-in session with friends. Behind the distinctive façade of The Sussex, you’ll find an old-meets-new combination of heritage columns, walnut timber and cosy banquettes, with a sleek marble bar serving up your favourite tap beers, wines and cocktails. Enjoy indoors or out in the CBD’s largest, leafy beer garden with relaxed, welcoming vibes.
