The Lord Gladstone

The ability to squash so many Sydney scenes inside a modest space is one of the Gladdy’s most impressive attributes. On an unremarkable Saturday night, you’ve got Bondi babes, queer indie kids, footy fans, sneaker freakers, hip-hop heads and what appears to be a crew of nonchalant models all cramming into the concrete courtyard for a good time. On Friday nights ‘genreless’ weekly party Bloom brings emerging artists and DJs to the decks, and you’re in for a knees up on Saturday and Sunday sessions too. The food has been on point since its opening in 2015, still boasting one of the best cheeseburgers in Sydney, alongside an ever-changing seasonal menu full of pub classic and fresh favourites.
