This place has many memories for me as it has been around longer than I have. It is a great place to meet for a drink after work and at any time really. More

definitely worth a visit to see its opulence from days of "Old Sydney" - i think it has been meticulously taken apart and then reassembled as skyscrapers were built around it - cause for a drink to work out how it has survived in perfect condition and thank the people who preserved it More

This is a great place - Italianate, originally built in the late 1800's and transferred to the Hilton in 1973. It specialises in low lighting and the service is not great [we had someone elses food brought to our table!] However an architectual gem and worth a visit for this alone. More

This is a delightful mid town bar, preserved piece by piece and relocated to its present site. The reproduction Italian Renaissance interior is a marvel and throw back to times past. But - the evenings are dominated by live music (often quite loud, so if you're looking for romance and conversation, this is not the place to be - there's... More

Quite frankly, I've never really understood the Marble Bar. Sure the place looks great - but with no table service for the minimal seats that they have, and a noise level that approaches standing beside a runway as the night goes on, it's not a long stay place for me. My advice, go early and then move on - and... More

Marble bar is absolutely amazing place - the decor is stunning and the atmosphere it brings is great. Really worth a visit just to check out the interior! If there is live music on, its great too!! More

Have visited marble bar twice. Once in 2010 late at night when there was a live band and then recently (dec 2011) with a work collegue for a wine. The decor is amazing with lots of character so to me this is the reason to visit. If you don't like large music and a sleazy atmosphere then don't go on... More

Comprising of a LOT of marble (as the name suggests), the bar was built in the late 1800s and is deservedly heritage listed. It has been beautifully restored and is absolutely stunning – for this reason alone it is worth a visit. Alas service is at best average. As for the atmosphere, it depends what you’re in for... - If... More

This bar underneath the Hilton on George Street is one of the most beautiful in Sydney. Be sure to read the history (in the menu) and enjoy a leisurely drink. Some evenings there are live bands as well. Prices around $8 - $10 for glass of wine. More
