Visitors praise the Colombian Hotel for its fun, friendly vibe, especially on the revamped rooftop bar with good cocktails and live entertainment.

About this place The Colombian Hotel

The Colombian is a gay bar in a converted historic pub building on Oxford Street, Darlinghurst, on the strip that's the center of Sydney's gay nightlife. It's an open, airy bar with big windows onto the street. Early in the evening the crowd is mixed, and later at night it gets younger. The listed hours run from 09:00 until 06:00 the next morning, every day. Confirm late-night trading before you go, because Sydney's licensing hours have changed several times. The other Oxford Street venues are a few steps away, so it's a natural starting point. Expect a door queue on Friday and Saturday nights and during Mardi Gras season.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Colombian Hotel is hands down one of the best pubs in Sydney. As a straight tradie, I wasn’t sure what to expect the first time I walked in, but it didn’t take long to realise this place is for everyone. A massive shout out to Ella, who does an incredible job. Her professionalism, friendliness and genuine care for both staff and patrons is obvious the moment you walk through the door. She has helped create an atmosphere that is welcoming, inclusive and full of good energy. You can tell she takes a lot of pride in the venue and it shows in every aspect of the pub. The staff are brilliant, the service is always spot on, the drinks are great, and there’s a real sense of community that makes people want to come back. Whether you’re there for a quiet beer after work, a catch-up with mates, or a big night out, everyone is made to feel welcome. In a world where a lot of pubs can feel the same, the Colombian Hotel stands out because of the people, and Ella is a huge part of that. She’s a credit to the venue and the hospitality industry. Highly recommended. I’ll definitely be back. 🍻🏳️‍🌈
