About Rabbit Bar @ The ArtHouse Hotel

The Rabbit Bar is the beating heart of The ArtHouse Hotel and its biggest space, running across the ground floor of the heritage building on Pitt Street. Enormous chandeliers hang from skyscraper ceilings, and the scale of the room is what people remember: it's a genuine wow on arrival rather than a neutral function space. It's set up for large-format events, with a projector, microphone and PA system for speeches and presentations, air conditioning, natural light through the day and free parking on site. Catering is in-house with an Asian-leaning menu plus halal, vegan and gluten-free options, and the hotel's bar team runs drinks service for your group. The room holds up to 400 guests standing or 200 seated on exclusive hire, which makes it one of the larger CBD options for a company end-of-year party, product launch or big milestone celebration.

Went for happy hours on a Friday. Place was teeming so didn’t get a seat at the area with the live musician. Decent drinks for happy hours but have tasted better wine. The free fries was a nice touch and bonus. Thank you…
