View profileA neighbourhood bistro and pub that underwent a multi-million-dollar refurbishment. Features four bars, a considered food menu, live music, DJ sets, and function facilities.
Hotel Delany - known to locals simply as The Del - is one of Darby Street’s anchors. Following a significant multi-million-dollar refurbishment, it re-emerged as a venue that blends neighbourhood pub warmth with a more polished food and entertainment offering.
The four bars cater to different occasions, from a quiet drink to a big night out with live music or DJ sets. The food menu is impressively considered for a pub of this scale, drawing diners as much as drinkers.
Function facilities make The Del a popular choice for private events, while the bottle shop serves the broader neighbourhood.
