Old City Bank Bar & Brasserie

In 1912 Sir James Joynton Smith, then owner of The Carrington Hotel, decided a bank was required on premises. Construction commenced and in June of the same year, a branch of the City Bank of Sydney opened. The upper storey provided residential quarters for the inaugural bank manager, Mr Hosie.

Operating as bank until the 1930’s, it was converted to use as The Carrington Saloon Bar until the closure of the entire Carrington precinct in 1986. 

THE OLD CITY BANK BRASSERIE

Located upstairs above the Old City Bank Bar, The Old City Bank Brasserie offers a casual and relaxed dining experience. Think great pub food with a selection of vegetarian options.

Meet Chef Marcel: 

The Creative Force Behind the Old City Bank Bar and Brasserie.

We’re thrilled to introduce Chef Marcel, who joined our talented team in 2021 and stepped into the role of Head Chef at The Old City Bank Bar and Brasserie in March this year.

Born and raised in the Philippines, Marcel draws inspiration from the vibrant flavours and techniques of his homeland. His love for Australian cuisine has further influenced his cooking, blending the best of both worlds into a menu that’s fresh, exciting, and delicious.
