Jake Smyth and Kenny Graham, the folks behind Mary’s, are known for reviving The Lansdowne Hotel, when they transformed it into an epic music venue back in 2017.
However, the team was forced to exit the iconic Chippendale venue last April after their lease expired earlier in 2022, with landlords announcing plans to replace the pub’s venue with additional hostel accommodation.
The pub’s loyal followers expect that the team will be back with a new venue, after promising that they will ‘continue to build stages and create spaces for the voices of our glorious city to emerge.’
As for the reported move to Moore Park, a spokesperson for the team could not confirm anything at the moment, since nothing has been signed yet but word has it that the group is reportedly setting their eyes on two sites at the Entertainment Quarter.
Moore Park’s Entertainment Quarter serves as Sydney’s landmark live entertainment venue and as a leisure and retail precinct, featuring cinemas, restaurants, bars, commercial and recreation outlets.
One of the highlights at EQ is The Showring, an exceptional outdoor performance and event space, and the home of weekly and monthly markets.
If plans pushed through, Mary’s would be a welcome addition to the Entertainment Quarter, which is already home to the likes of Academy Ballet and the local pub Watson’s which can accommodate up to 400 guests.
The EQ, located at Bent Street in Moore Park, is immediately adjacent to the Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney Football Stadium, Fox Studios, The Hordern Pavilion and The Royal Hall of Industries.
