Redfern, bar

This building is located on the corner of Regent Street and Wells Street, in the inner city suburb of Redfern. The Mont De Piete is an institutional pawnbroker and lending agency, run as a charity in Europe from Renaissance times until today. The lower text refers to Alexander Margoschis, a local pawnbroker who was involved in a notorious murder nearby in 1887. The building now houses what is described as an old world gin bar, which also does cocktails.

  2. I have not heard of a gin and cocktail bar shop, a place that presumably does not have wines and beers. Do they have enough customers?

    1. An alternative to wine bars, which are popping up all over the city these days. I've been to a whisky bar before but this is the first gin bar I've seen.

  7. Sydney has such interesting architecture and so different from each of the other capital cities. I think the sandstone she stands on has a great influence.

    This building is a great example. Great photo.

    Best wishes,
    Liz
