360 Virtual Tour: https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=7bTv2C6QkKP

Welcome to Lot 97, 88 Dowling Street, Woolloomooloo This is a rare, ready to go hospitality opportunity in one of Sydney’s most vibrant inner‑city harbourside precincts. Set within a residential tower of around 3,800 residents in the suburb and approximately 100 apartments plus an on‑site accommodation provider in the building itself, this offering gives any operator an immediate built‑in customer base.

Previously occupied by the building manager as the in‑house caretaker and hotel food provider, the premises historically traded for breakfast, lunch and dinner before the operator exited food and beverage to focus on accommodation. This opens the door for an astute operator to capture demand from both short‑ and long‑term residents and guests who pass through the building daily.

The property is offered as 3 spaces in one line:

Restaurant/bar of approximately 106.8 sqm, with generous open floor space and a front‑of‑house service kitchenette.

Fully equipped commercial kitchen of approximately 92 sqm, including combi ovens, cooktops/grills, dishwashers, and stainless-steel preparation benches – ready for you to fine‑tune and commence trading.

Storage room / office space of approximately 37.8 sqm located between the front restaurant/bar and the main kitchen, currently used as a dedicated storage area ideal for dry goods, equipment, or an office, and which could also be opened to connect to the main restaurant/bar to create additional trading or seating area.

Some features:
Private entrance exclusively for this tenancy, located directly beside the main lobby entry.​

Dedicated male and female bathroom amenities at the rear of the main kitchen, including staff lockers and showers, ideal for end‑of‑shift freshening up.​

Rear access to the on‑site car park with convenient loading via the side street as there is no parking included but potential to lease a car space through building management.​

Grease trap infrastructure in place and exclusively servicing this property.​

Front customer area serviced by air conditioning for enhanced comfort.​

Wide glass frontage to Dowling Street providing strong exposure and natural light
