ALH has announced the impending re-opening of its heritage-listed landmark pub, the Crows Nest Hotel.
Stage one of the head-to-toe multi-million dollar overhaul of the pub is set to be revealed in a couple of weeks, bringing all-new food and drinks menus, and new spaces including a rooftop terrace.
Considered one of the flagships of Australia’s biggest publican, Australian Leisure & Hospitality (ALH), the four-level 100-year-old pub sits prominently on the corner of Military Road and the Pacific Highway.
Perched atop Crows Nest’s topographic peak, the new rooftop terrace will afford guests panoramic views of the surrounding lower north shore of Sydney as well as the airy new courtyard below.
The renovation has taken almost a year, and architect Darren Dickfos and 
builder Rohrig have painstakingly incorporated its heritage charm and ornate features into the new design.
Other new elements include five flexible function spaces to capitalise on the area’s thriving business community: The Ballroom, The Boardroom, The Parlour, The Berry Room and The Lounge.
Guiding the kitchen will be former Keystone chef Kelly Rodgers, producing a “produce-driven menu” packed with hearty pub-food options to offer further choice in the restaurant-laden Crows Nest strip, along Willoughby Road.
Going through many reincarnations over the past few decades, the pub has oft been known as a destination for live music. This tradition will be a key part of the reinvention, with a wide range of acts slated to bring “nightly music and laughter”.
The Hotel is expected to being trading in the new format by the end of May.
