The century-old Crows Nest Hotel has reopened its doors to reveal the first stage of a multi-million dollar renovation.

The transformation of the ALH Group’s flagship property took almost a year to complete.

It includes a new rooftop terrace overlooking the Crows Nest Strip, five function spaces and an airy courtyard.

The renovation has been accompanied by an overhaul of the venue’s food, drinks and live entertainment.

Chef Kelly Rodgers has created a menu including steakhouse beef skewers with horseradish cream sauce, rustic pork meatballs in a herbed house Napolitano sauce and parmesan, pistachio crusted lamb rack with roasted chats, watercress and tomato salad and creamy lemon mustard sauce, and crispy skin Atlantic salmon with seasonal mirin vegetables, celeriac puree and lime cheek.

The pub will be bringing back live music.

Interiors have been redesigned and refitted.

“Live entertainment is at the heart of the hotel’s new identity, and will fill the venue with nightly music and laughter with a packed program of Sydney’s best acts,” said venue manager Ricardo Gonzalez.

The Ballroom, The Boardroom, The Parlour, The Berry Room and The Lounge function spaces are now open for bookings.

Stage two of the redevelopment will feature a new neighbourhood bar specialising in wines and boutique beers.

It is due for completion in August.

The outdoor areas also have a new look.
