The Crown Cafe & Bar

Venue review

The musician's read

The Crown Cafe & Bar inside Holiday Inn Sydney Waterfront combines family dining with regular live entertainment. Jazz, acoustic and pop acts fit the hotel-pub format, and small ensembles such as quartets are comfortable in the room. All-ages access makes it a good match for polished musicians who can appeal to travelers, diners and local listeners at once.
