The Beresford is a slick operation with a great kitchen, trendy AF beer garden and even a club upstairs when the public health orders allow. Harpoon Harry is a crowd-pleaser, with fun decor, neon lights, an impressive selection of local and imported brews on-tap and a menu that dabbles in a little bit of everything, from deviled eggs to hearty burgers to baked clams casino.
But it's worth remembering that Surry Hills was not always the ultra-trendy, consummately gentrified 'hood it is today. So for those looking to connect with the areas salt-of-the-earth heritage, the Cricketers Arms proves the old ways can still be the best ways. This is a delicate subject. When it comes to coffee, Surry Hills has an embarrassment of riches, and everyone will have their personal favourites.
At Single O , coffee is the main event, so expect tasting notes on their carefully crafted roasts when you order. Brunch is big business round these parts, and it comes in all shapes and sizes. But if we had to choose just one tried and true venue where, time and again, both coffee and brunch hit the bullseye, Four Ate Five would get our vote.
However, during the shutdown, the band rooms, theatres, galleries and performance spaces, not just of Surry Hills but of the entire country, were forced to close their doors.
Faced with an unpredictable challenge and an uncertain future, the artists of this area did what they have always done — they got creative. Take for example the Sky Sirens Academy , a small burlesque, pole dancing and aerial performance studio on Crown Street, which pivoted to teaching a cheeky curriculum of classes online during the shutdown. They can come from nothing. Small has proven to be mighty, with compact yet nimble operations like the Giant Dwarf , resuming performances, while bigger institutions, such as Belvoir Theatre , are remaining in hibernation until September.
Adjusting its usual set-up, the Soda Factory has managed to relaunch live CovidSafe gigs five nights a week , and plans are in the works to return to seven nights a week, as it had in the Beforetime, as soon as restrictions allow. Art lovers can once again visit the Brett Whiteley Studio on Raper Street, where the celebrated artist and sculptor lived and worked until his death in Film buffs can also get their screen fix at the Golden Age Cinema.
Down the streets of this inner-city suburb, you'll find yourself spoilt for choice for sculptural homewares and funky, emerging labels sourced from Parisian ateliers and Scandinavian warehouses. Stop into the Standard Store for the latter. In a refreshing departure from the ubiquitous minimalism of the fashion set, the husband and wife duo at its helm fill their boutique with fun, bold picks from on-trend labels like Maison Kitsune and Rachel Comey.
The Collector Store down the road is great for picking up fine, locally made jewellery and homewares, including from labels like Leif and lingerie brand Love Stories.
For some reading material, the tightly curated Published Art is dedicated to tomes on architecture, art and design. Now, tattoos are pretty ubiquitous across Sydney, but Surry Hills shares a particular affinity with ink addicts. Three of best tattoo studios in the city — and dare we say, Australia — can be found here.
Little Tokyo , run by legend of Australia's tatoo scene Rhys Gordon, has been the ink shop of choice for many visiting celebs over the years, including Justin Beiber and Ruby Rose. But don't worry, regular folk are more than welcome to go under the needle here too, and a recent refurbishment of the premises has even added laser tattoo removal to their lists of services. In the same building as Little Tokyo — the quirky, heritage-listed Hibernian House on Elisabeth Street — Hibernia is an appointment-only studio with a talented stable of artists, including internationally in-demand names like Mr Pingpong.
The service here is one of close collaboration between client and artist to ensure the body art you receive is something you're proud to wear for life. Known later for its unique flavour, his beer was made with water drawn from the creeks which drained from the nearby Devonshire burial ground.
By the early s, a village began to take shape, and this process was accelerated by the economic boom of the s, which saw mercantile profits increasingly turned to investment in land.
And because of its proximity to the spreading Sydney Town, the once-neglected sand and swamp of Surry Hills became more desirable as a residential area.
In , the whole of Surry Hills and Woolloomooloo combined could boast only houses, but within 10 years, the housing stock of Surry Hills alone had grown to 1,, and by the s the district had reached its zenith as a residential area. By then, the tangled network of streets was crammed with nearly 5, dwellings in the long rows of brick double-storey terraces that came to characterise Surry Hills in its prime.
Four short decades transformed Surry Hills from a scattered collection of villages, interspersed by scrubby paddocks and the occasional mansion, linked by unformed streets that were not much more than glorified sand tracks, into one of the city's most populous districts.
In , Cook Ward, which covered Surry Hills and Moore Park, housed more people than Balmain — then the largest suburb of the metropolis — and accounted for nearly 28 per cent of the population of the Sydney municipal area. But as population increased and houses became more closely packed, there was a corresponding deterioration in the level of amenity and quality of life for the suburb's residents. With inadequate powers granted to it by the colonial legislature, the Sydney Municipal Council was unable to force landlords and speculative builders to connect even new houses to the water supplies, and the provision of formed roads through the area, and of sewerage and drainage, was exasperatingly slow, largely because of the shortage of funds.
This situation was exacerbated by the s depression, which badly affected the local economy, ensuring that pawnshops had a growing business. In the s the social mix of the district was still fairly evenly spread, but the s and s saw subtle changes, as a growing number of mechanics, skilled artisans and shopkeepers came to dominate local life, displacing the declining gentry.
At the counters of the corner shops, in the offices of the small factories and workshops, from the front pews of the Sunday morning congregations, and especially on their weekly rounds as rent-collecting landlords, their positions in the social and economic hierarchy of the close-knit community were confirmed.
In , 46 per cent of all Surry Hills landlords also lived within the suburb. Despite the rapidity of development over these decades, parts of Surry Hills still retained their village atmosphere, and the local economy was quite varied. Tanning and currying were also prominent in the area, with many firms appearing after legislation evicted them from the city proper.
Their foul odour and noxious effluent flowed through the area for decades. To meet the educational needs of the area, several small church schools were opened: these, after , were funded by the colonial government. In the Board of National Education established Cleveland Street Public School in an imported prefabricated iron building lined with boards, canvas and paper, into which were crammed the pupils — nearly by In the imposing edifice still standing in was opened, and by was educating nearly students.
In that same year, Crown Street Public School opened, and within a year a staggering students were enrolled. Enrolments there had to be limited until other schools were set up in the area. Devonshire Street Public School began in rented premises in By the mids, these inner-city schools were 'literally crammed with children'.
There were also the schools run by the churches. The local Wesleyan and Congregational schools continued on, but in reduced circumstances. The growth in the school populations reflected population growth overall. During the s small subdivisions continued to fill the remaining areas of open space, and throughout the length and breadth of the suburb there were now scores of small workshops, largely employing locals.
And working their way through all this were the dealers and Chinese hawkers, announcing their fresh rabbits, vegetables, fish, milk, and clothes pegs — to which, by the end of the century, were added the click and hum of textile knitting mills and printing works, and the drone of the sewing machine.
By the area's population was almost 30,, and by the end of the century the suburb was largely built out, and a testament to the dangers of rapid and uncontrolled urban development.
Local and colonial governments apparently possessed neither the legislative power nor the political will to enforce the orderly development of Surry Hills. Indeed, over the late nineteenth century, the power of private property remained unchallenged. Owners and developers enjoyed a remarkable degree of control over the processes of urban growth, land use and public amenity.
They essentially had a free hand to build what they liked where they liked, regardless of street alignments, drainage patterns, block size, housing quality or public health. The environment of Surry Hills seemed to cry out to the growing movement for slum eradication that had been emerging in the late nineteenth century. The environmental determinism of the Royal Commission on the Improvement of Sydney spelt out strategies to 'cleanse' the inner city. While outwardly it could be seen as corrupt, membership provided 'an essential survival skill for those who would otherwise gain nothing'.
The early decades of the twentieth century saw Surry Hills at its peak as a residential enclave of Sydney, even as its reputation was at its lowest ebb.
Encouraged by the provision of adequate suburban transit systems after , the middle classes were in the process of fleeing the 'zone of blighted living conditions'. There was no margin to cater for unseen circumstances, and so sickness, unemployment or sudden widowhood could plunge a family into chronic destitution.
And in coping with long-term poverty, many Surry Hills families were forced to adopt one or more of a range of mostly unpleasant survival strategies.
