CBD Hotel, Sydney

52 King Street, Sydney
Reviewers: Burger Bot, Joe Blogs
Review time: Friday lunch



"CBD Hotel. City Burger Diner?"


Big arse 5-floor building in the CBD presents Merivale-run pub, CBD Hotel. It's located, you guessed it, in the CBD, and caters for all your corporate bar, bistro and function needs.

Spent a bit of time researching this old building trying to work out what it used to be, with no success. We're hoping someone can fill us in. This old Victorian style building has been restored and renovated into what is now an opened-up high-ceilinged watering hole and tucker stop.

Given its location it's no surprise that most of the clientele are of your suited variety. While it's not our destination of choice, it has come good on a few occasions when other venues of the area have failed or been full. It's directly opposite shit pile pub, Forbes Hotel, and is completely the opposite in style and offerings. The food is more than edible at CBD and the place is clean and tidy. Music playing is easy for all on this occasion, highlighted by Faith No More's version of "Easy" playing overhead.

CBD - city burger diner styley good


We enjoyed a couple of burgers at $17.50, which were American diner styley good (becoming a trend?), and washed them down with a couple of Coopers Pale for $6.90 each. Bit pricey on that front. For cheap beer price point, Boags Draught noted at $6. Not exactly cheap. The service however is quite good, with bar staff visiting your table to take orders and payment for table-delivered drinks.

Generally not a bad pub. Not the cheapest but not so ridiculous you wouldn't come back from time to time.


Storeytime! Burger Bot and Blogs attended a Melbourne Cup work function here a few years back. Got a bit messy with ping pong balls being thrown around the room upstairs. The two were eventually escorted from the building by security after a large penis was drawn on the floor using the black rubber from the bottom of shoes. Oh dear.

  2. Is usually CBD oil poor for kidneys?
    The cannabinoid pain CB1 and CB2 are found throughout the tissues of the kidneys.... Your research
    performed to show that marijuana does not trigger damage to the particular kidneys puts cannabis from
    the guide for some sort of good choice to harmful anti-inflammatory plus uploads.
