A modern cocktail and terrace bar above one of the city's oldest pubs.
Tucked away above the historic Orient Hotel in The Rocks, Mrs. Jones is a hidden gem that brings together heritage charm, contemporary style, and an inviting open-air dining experience. Found by taking the first doorway on the right in Kendall Lane and heading up the stairs, this modern venue is perched above a tranquil sandstone courtyard and pays tribute to its colourful past.
Named after Jane Jones, the hotel’s licensee in 1897 and one of The Rocks' most legendary publicans, Mrs. Jones continues her legacy with a menu full of fresh, seasonal Australian produce and a vibrant atmosphere that honours the spirit of the original venue.
Dine alfresco in the airy courtyard setting or relax with a cocktail in the stylish, semi-enclosed dining space. Whether you're here for a leisurely long lunch, weekend brunch, or celebratory dinner, the menu offers something for everyone, from shareable plates and seafood to satisfying mains and creative vegetarian options. The cocktail list is just as inspired, with expertly mixed classics and house specialties, complemented by a curated wine and beer selection.
Mrs. Jones is ideal for group gatherings, date nights, or casual catch-ups in one of Sydney’s most historic precincts. Just a short stroll from Circular Quay, it offers a welcome escape from the busy city streets, with a relaxed yet polished setting and warm hospitality.
