Forrester’s has reopened in the heart of Sydney's Surry Hills, offering guests a multi-dimensional hotel experience while staying true to its roots as a casual local.
The pub, which is now open to the public, was established in 1921 and has been proudly serving the Surry Hills neighbourhood for almost 100 years.
Applejack took ownership of Forrester’s earlier this year with a vision of creating a community-centric watering hole with an Applejack twist – comprising of three drinking and dining spaces within one venue – Phylli’s restaurant, a public bar and an upstairs entertainment and dining space.
Applejack drew inspiration from the building’s century-old history and original ‘bones’ incorporating natural timbers and a classic, neutral colour palette with pastel furnishings.

The three spaces are tied together by Applejack’s signature love of greenery and high-variety dining experiences.
Phylli’s restaurant is the go-to destination for long-lunching, casual dining, or a catch-up with friends. Bringing the outside in, Phylli’s dining room is filled with natural light, lush greenery, and lux timber finishes.
Drinkers will be able to book in for Bottomless Lunches at Phylli’s from 14 November from $79 per person.

Opting to restore and highlight the pub’s original historic features, Applejack has kept the Public Bar’s exposed Oregon beams, hardwood floors and tri-folding timber sash windows.
The Public Bar will pour a strong range of local craft beers and Australian wines and is the perfect place to catch the latest sporting fixtures on the big screens.
Designed with entertainment in mind, Upstairs at Forrester’s incorporates comfortable booth seats and a separate bar in its dining space.
