Doss House

THE DOSS HOUSE

If only the walls could talk at The Doss House because they would tell a fascinating story. Formally a bootery, boarding house, doctors and opium den, the space is now home to The Doss House a premium whisky bar in The Rocks.

Located in a heritage-listed building on George Street, the underground bar is everything you would envision a whisky bar would entail. Exposed ceiling beams, sandstone walls, a cosy fireplace and large chesterfields to unwind in. There is also an outside courtyard to enjoy during the warmer months. On the drinks menu there are over 100 whiskies to select from. The menu is easy to navigate featuring whiskies under their place of origin. Not limited to just whisky, you’ll be able to find your tipple of choice with a vast range of beers, wines and cocktails.

On the food front, the menu is concise but works for this style of venue. Offering charcuteries boards, ploughman’s lunch and gourmet sandwiches. There is something on the menu for everyone, where you’ll find the perfect accompaniment to match your choice of tipple. 77-79 George Street, The Rocks NSW 2000 T: 0457 880 180 E: info@thedosshouse.com.au Opening Hours: Monday: Closed Tuesday - Thursday: 4pm-1am Friday - Saturday: 4pm-2am Sunday: 4pm-12am
