25.01.2022 "Ask Hamish Watts, co-owner of Applejack Hospitality group (The Botanist Kirribilli, So_Cal Neutral Bay, The Butler Potts Point, Endeavour Tap Rooms Sydney), what his grandmother was like, and he’ll tell you she was a quirky and fashionable lady who looked to ’60s style icons such as Jackie Onassis and Audrey Hepburn for sartorial inspiration. She used to love to entertain, Watts tells Broadsheet. She was always hosting soirees at her house where she’d be serving cocktai...ls and hors d’oeuvres. Her sassy and vivacious personality has served as inspiration and namesake for Applejack’s latest venue, Hester's."

22.01.2022 "Elegant CBD eatery Bopp & Tone is finally set to reopen its doors, and is doing so with an opening night feast with a twist. The 'choose what you pay' banquet will raise money for Applejack Hospitality's Food Sales For Staff initiative, which supports staff members who lost their income due to COVID-19. For one night only, the restaurant will serve up its banquet menu and allow diners to pay what they want. On the nine-dish menu, expect yellowfin tuna crudo, garlic king praw...ns, bone-in rib eye steak and smoky paprika spatchcock. Plus, a side of roasted potatoes and a buffalo ricotta and pumpkin salad" Thank you Concrete Playground Sydney Keep reading via ~ bit.ly/CPBoppAndToneReopening Spaces are limited and reservations are essential, book your table today ~ bit.ly/FoodSalesForStaff

22.01.2022 "Now, the resurrected gastropub has three distinct drinking and dining spaces, including a public bar, retaining the building’s age and tradition as a beer-fuelled spot to watch the game, an Upstairs entertainment space for weekly trivia and comedy nights, and sit-down restaurants named Phylli’s where modern art and design frame a menu of pub classics like the char-grilled wagyu rump with forry’s butter, and slow-cooked lamb shoulder with verde sauce, radish salad, and fresh corn tortillas."

22.01.2022 "Forresters is one of those mainstays of Surry Hills pubdom that no matter how hard anyone tried to upgrade it, it remained a staunchly loveable local watering hole. The latest facelift has come care of the Applejack Hospitality group, who run The Butler Potts Point, The Botanist Kirribilli and So_Cal Neutral Bay. They've applied a little magic pixie dust, but not too much, to the bones of this corner hotel, giving the dining room a botanical facelift, and the public bar a spit and polish, revealing its best self without wiping out its unkempt charms."

20.01.2022 Applejack is proud to be part of the #WestholmePlatesForGood campaign created by our friends at Westholme to show support for the hospitality industry during these tough times.

Created by Applejack Hospitality, SoCal is heavily southern Californian inspired from the Latin American spices, to the dangerous cocktails and the satisfying street food. Regardless of the season or time you visit, you’ll certainly feel the warmth and love through each sip and bite."
