Established hotelier Martin Short has sold one of his pubs in Sydney’s inner-south off-market for over $20 million – more than triple what he paid for the venue just nine years ago – to a family-run hospitality business.

The Redfern is one of six hotels owned by Short. In Sydney, he operates The Glenmore Hotel at The Rocks and Billy Barry’s Hotel in North Sydney. Short also owns regional and coastal venues such as the Moonee Beach Hotel, Sawtell Hotel and Toormina Hotel in NSW’s mid-north coast, as well as Palm & Pawn Hotel in North Wagga Wagga.
