The Secret is Out! The Lady of Darlinghurst Found at The Lord Bob

The Secret is Out! The Lady of Darlinghurst Found at The Lord Bob

Ladies and gents, grab your magnifying glass and dig out that tweed detective cap! It’s time to reveal the hilariously odd tale of my sunny afternoon shenanigans at the romantically eclectic but ultimately enchanting Lord Bob Hotel’s Roberta’s Rooftop in Darlinghurst. Our journey takes us back to 1867 when men grew the most monstrous of moustaches.


Up, Up, and Away to Roberta’s Rooftop

Imagine a sunny rooftop with views of charming, tree-lined Riley Street, and an ambience that’s as eclectic and comfortable as your favourite pair of mismatched socks. There I sat, ready to embark on a culinary adventure with the star of the show: the chicken schnitzel.

This schnitzel wasn’t just any old breaded chicken; it was the Meryl Streep of schnitzels – versatile, beloved, and flawlessly executed. Pairing it with a glass of Rosé was the kind of decision that deserves a high-five from your future self. It was a match made in Darlo, as the locals call it, heaven.

Kiddie Capers and Cheeseburger Escapades

Post-museum trip (a delightful blend of “wow” and “I didn’t know that”), it was time to treat the offspring to some Lord Bob hospitality. Picture this: a bustling, family-friendly pub where kids eat free on a weekend (yes, you read that right) with an adult meal at lunchtime. My little one tackled the cheeseburger like it was a culinary Everest, and emerged victorious and satiated and as they say…happy child, happy EVERYONE!


Like the Sixties Had a Baby with Modern Times

I give you –The Lord Bob Hotel is like a groovy time capsule, oozing retro charm but with a nod to the now. It’s like if your coolest aunt decided to open a pub – hip, welcoming, and full of stories. A glittering bauble in the darling Darlinghurst’s shiny crown. More than just a watering hole, this joint is a quirky and captivating must-visit hotspot.

The next time you saunter through Darlinghurst’s energetic streets, pause at Lord Bob Hotel. For a gastronomical delight or a crazy, colourful culinary ride, this gem will spin you a tale you’d be glad to be a part of.

Stay fabulous!
