Sterlo's Bar at Parramatta Leagues Club is undergoing a $1.1m refurbishment to transform the bar to a "pub within a Club". Parramatta Leagues is using the expertise of high profile hotel industry designer Paul Kelly, the name behind designs for big city venues such as Hugo's Bondi and Cargo Bar, to take Sterlo's Bar into a new era. The Club commissioned experienced Club Industry project managers Paynter Dixon to bring Paul Kelly's vision for Sterlo's Bar alive. Featuring a new bar, lounge area and kitchen with a wood fired pizza oven, the new venue space will also link to the existing outdoor terrace. A custom designed interior plays a major part in this refurbishment. The use of timber flooring and timber ceiling treatment as well as feature pendant lighting, stylish furniture and furnishings provides the perfect atmosphere for guests to relax and unwind.
Lindsay Verdon, Paynter Dixon's Head of Hospitality and Entertainment Venues, said the refurbishment is part of the Club's masterplan, aimed at attracting new, younger members. "The overall new renovations, starting with Sterlo's will revitalise Parramatta Leagues Club", Lindsay said. "The Club is extremely excited about its new bar, which will re-open in April. The next stage after Sterlo's will be to renovate the Tahoe Lounge and install new escalators that will link all levels of the building."
