ABOUT

THE DUNKIRK HOTEL

PYRMONT

Built in 1879 and steeped in tradition, the iconic Dunkirk Hotel in Sydney truly has been Pyrmont’s local for almost 150 years. Formerly the Butcher’s Arms Hotel, it was renamed in the 1940s to commemorate The Battle of Dunkirk.

​

This tired, rundown, and dilapidated old hotel underwent its first refurbishment in over 17 years during the first calendar quarter of 2020 - including its cellar, main bar, as well as a new gaming room now located at the front of the hotel on Harris Street. More recently, our 100 seat 1st-floor dining and beer garden has been completed along with big screens for every sporting occasion, our bottleshop has had a total upgrade, and there are currently plans to upgrade the facade of the hotel, as well as the hotel's 12 accommodation rooms. We've been excited to see our old girl return to her former glory and to celebrate the immense history of this heritage-listed pub.

The hotel was previously run by the same operator for almost 20 years until it was recently acquired by a 6th generation publican and founder of Shogroup in early 2020.

Come and see for yourself why the Dunkirk Hotel truly is Pyrmont’s local.
