Solotel

Solotel Solotel is a family of venues, 27 strong and growing in Sydney and Brisbane. Come play with us. Our family has been in pubs since 1910.
(1)

In 1930, we bought the pub in Darlinghurst and we continue to evolve with our communities. Founded in 1986, Solotel has been an integral backdrop for great food, beverage, entertainment, music, and positive energy. We provide our customers the greatest diversity of experience, with 26 venues strong and growing in Sydney and Brisbane. Because we believe in the importance of hospitality in society.

In every great cultural movement of the last 100 years, there’s always been a watering hole for people to meet, share, and give life to new ideas. We’re facilitators of cultural and social change. Fostering deeper connections between people from all walks of life. Hospitality is in our blood. It is our family history and we see Solotel as a family of venues.

Big news - Freda's lives on at The Abercrombie 🍸

Freda’s has always been synonymous with community and great energy, and our collaboration with Dave and Carla is an exciting opportunity for us at Solotel to continue that legacy in a new way. We know they’ll put their unique stamp on The Abercrombie and make it something really special, and we look forward to working with them and seeing what they do.

Relaunching the much-loved Freda’s at The Abercrombie in Chippendale, we’re not too far away from her old stomping ground at all. We’re excited to show you a new side to Freda’s, and we can’t wait to see you when we open this April 🎉

At Solotel, we’re committed to nurturing, inspiring and creating opportunities for First Nations people in our local community and beyond 🤝

We’ve partnered with MobReady to run an 8-week program focused on developing and training 15 future Solotel team members. As well, a cultural awareness session for our current staff was held by local elders this week in preparation, ensuring that our practices are held to a high standard for all staff.

There will be a graduation and smoking ceremony in the Marlborough Hotel beer garden on February 14 to celebrate. We’re looking forward to introducing our new staff at the end of this exciting program!
