 The Clarence

Sydney's newest

gay & lesbian venue. 

 

 

We're looking forward to welcoming you to The Clarence.

  • A NEW GAY OWNED & OPERATED HOTEL AT PETERSHAM
    Corner of Parramatta Rd & Crystal St (incorporating MANACLE®)

    OPENING FRIDAY 30 MAY

Stuart Fraser & Andrew Clarke can now proudly announce the purchase of the Clarence Hotel at Petersham.
Some of you may remember The Clarence as the “Comedy Store”, and it’s just one block from the original Caesars.

The Clarence looks forward to welcoming the LUNCHEON CLUB, Carole Ann King and her boys.

The Clarence has a 24hour Hotel license, a capacity around 350 and there are several sections… OUTbar the Public Bar Catering to all of the GLBT community and their friends

A bottle shop

Wall Street (You can guess what this room is, it’s just not mentioned in NSW)

A TAB, Sky & Fox channels

Bistro – opening soon

A huge upstairs area with some great 1930s features just begging for a use… and…

MANACLE®
MANACLE parties since 2001 and the venue since 2003, MANACLE is back in its own section of The Clarence. The capacity is the same as it was at Taylor Square but it’s all in one room. Same iconic artwork, chain web, the cage and even some of the staff & DJs. Keep your eye on the web site www.manacle.com.au for information on theme nights, the regular Friday and Saturday nights, THURSDAY NIGHT LIVE, BENT - it’s not straight® and other day parties coming soon.



A Work In Progress
Some areas of the Hotel will be a work in progress over the next few months while some rearrangements are made and changes carried out. The whole Hotel was completely renovated about 4 years ago and so the bones are great it’s just the cosmetics that will change

Down the track a little and pending Development Applications…

Above the one story section of the Hotel a smoking deck and B-B-Q area

In the 2 story section in what was the residence there’s the possibility of specialized GLBT accommodation or a restaurant or another bar. That one is still so deep in the melting pot that we don’t even know the answer
