Kinselas

Kinselas Set right in the heart of Sydney's Taylor Square, Kinselas Hotel is one of the city's iconic venues.

One of Sydney's iconic venues, Kinselas boasts an intriguing history. The Chapel, with its high and ornate art deco ceilings, is a striking tribute to the building's history as a funeral parlour. It was the headquarters of Charles Kinsela, Undertaker, from 1933 until 1982; at which time it was converted into a restaurant that can boast the names Tony Bilson and Tetsuya Wakuda. Kinselas now lays claim to being the friendliest and most welcoming bar in Darlinghurst.

THANK YOU so much to Sydneynightlifebackintheday for unearthing this amazing little piece of nightlife history.

Hereโ€™s Adam Yauch (RIP) tagging his name behind the scenes of Middle Bar Kinselas after a private gig upstairs.

Moments like this are part of what makes this place what it is โ€” decades of music, culture, and a few stories that probably shouldnโ€™t be toldโ€ฆ
