About The Colombian Hotel

The Colombian Hotel is one of Oxford Street's most recognisable LGBTQ+ venues, occupying a prime Darlinghurst corner with views over the strip. Its three distinct areas cover several moods: an easygoing public bar, a refurbished cocktail lounge and a rooftop for drinks above the city. It opens from 9am and trades through to 6am, making it useful for everything from a daytime drink to a very late finish. The crowd is mixed and inclusive, while the venue's position puts it within a short walk of Palms, Universal and The Oxford. Expect a classic Sydney gay-pub atmosphere with a polished new rooftop layer.

What to expect

A busy, multi-level Oxford Street pub with rooftop drinks, cocktails and a broad LGBTQ+ crowd.

I have to say I had the most excellent service from a lovely lady by the name of Crystal! Exudes customer service and made a very special experience for us 10 out of 10 for Crystal.

Hadn't been here for a while came back it has been revamped. Thoroughly enjoyed the roof top bar, its energy and vibe. Nice mixed group, good cocktails. They had live entertainment which that night was a saxophone player. Love the new look they've gone with, it'll be good as social outings become more popular after winter.

As a regular customer, I come to this bar every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday to enjoy good times with friends. Tonight, I was on the rooftop with some friends and had already paid for my drink. I only stepped outside for five minutes to go to the convenience store. When I came back, the security guard stopped me and asked for my ID, even though I’m a regular customer and I’ve never been asked for it before. To make matters worse, he had just let a woman enter right before me without asking her for any identification. As a result, I was left waiting outside until my friends came down so we could go somewhere else. I find this situation very disappointing, and the way I was treated was difficult to understand. It’s a real shame, but after such a ridiculous experience, you won’t be seeing us again.

This roof top is our ‘go to’ after we’ve enjoyed lunching somewhere fabulous. Cocktails here generally on point, some bar staff are friendlier than others but hey hospitality is often hit’n miss. Today though was a hit. It’s a shame they don’t start the live music until later in the afternoon as we are normally in & out within a few hours & generally as the music starts we are having to depart. Some of us must rise early the next day for that dreadful thing called work 😔. Always a fun time for us though so thanks Mr a Columbian 💕
