The Doncaster Hotel

The
Doncaster
Hotel

Upgraded outdoor dining terrace NOW OPEN, as well as new bar layout and improved outdoor areas on the ground floor. Check out the newest changes to our lovingly renovated and heritage designed building.

The Hotel that has it all.

Offering several bar areas (new layout), as well as pool tables, TAB facilities, five Function Rooms, Brasserie and upgraded outdoor Dining Terrace, the Doncaster blends an intimate and sophisticated design into one of Sydney’s largest Hotel venues.

Fresh, generous pub-style meals offer fantastic value for money as well as quality and variety. Rich in racing heritage, every care has been taken to accommodate both the seasoned punter and novice race-goer at the all-new Doncaster, with sensational race and sports betting facilities. With huge LED screens visible from every seat in the Hotel, it is impossible to miss the race, or the big game.

Fireplaces, sandstone columns, leather armchairs, ambient lighting and rich timber paneling are but some of the many features that make the Hotel well worth the visit. Ornate glass windows, landscaped gardens and the original retro-style elevator running up the middle of the Hotel highlight the effort that has gone into retaining the heritage-listed qualities of this beautiful building while transforming the entire Hotel into a modern and popular venue.

Just a short stroll from Randwick Race Course and easily accessible from Anzac Parade, the Hotel currently trades until midnight on weekends, closing slightly earlier during the week.

*Strict dress regulations apply.

Bars

Enjoy some of Australia's finest and freshes beers...

The Doncaster boasts many areas to relax and enjoy a drink. We have a huge sports bar and TAB, intimate lounge bar on the Ground Floor, as well as outdoor terrace and brasserie on the First Floor. For groups of 20 or more, view our Function Facilities, which cater for up to 250 guests. While the setting and refurbishment set the Hotel apart and will amaze first time patrons, all bars also feature a smooth blend of current and classic music, and enormous LED screens visible from every seat.

With plenty of local and imported beers on tap, we pride ourselves on serving fresh, icy cold and well presented draught beer. Alternatively, try a glass of wine from our extensive list, carefully selected to suit all budgets and tastes, or sample our huge range of pre-mixed drinks, bottled beers, spirits, juices or soft drinks.

The Doncaster is the perfect local venue for all occasions, from a quick drink after work to your next social gathering.

An extensive cook-your-own bbq menu is complemented by a large selection of a-la-carte meals, as well as daily blackboard specials, kid’s meals and desserts. A huge wine list and plenty of beers on tap, as well as fresh coffees available all day complete the bistro.

The brasserie itself is an incredible venue, set in the sensational refurbishment that has transformed the Doncaster into a landmark in Kensington. A double sided sandstone fireplace, deep leather armchairs, Western Australian jarrah tables, and walls adorned in hand painted jockey colours are but some of the features of the brasserie. With plenty of inside seating, as well as huge outdoor dining terrace complete with landscaped gardens and water features, the area is suitable for all weather conditions. Large LED screens ensure you’ll never miss the big game, and the retro style lift running up the middle of the building allows easy access for those who struggle with stairs, while the grand entrance foyer and staircase make the brasserie perfect for your next organised dinner.
