Taylor's

The Republic Hotel, a drinking and dining venue set in a heritage-listed building in the middle of the CBD, has opened its rooftop to all who appreciate sky-high views of Sydney. The new bar space, Taylors, features graffiti-scribbled walls, live bands and a laid-back vibe. The menu offers hearty pub fare like burgers and coq au vin. Trendy botanical cocktails are the star of the drinks menu, but beer connoisseurs will flock here for "the freshest beer you'll ever taste".
