There's now a new spot to grab yourself one of those glorious Mary's Burgers!
Mary’s owners Jake Smyth and Kenny Graham have announced that they'll be expanding to a rooftop bar atop the iconic Lansdowne Hotel in Sydney.
The pair took over the Chippendale venue in 2017.
Dubbed Mary's On Top, the bar was originally due to open later this year but has been brought forward while the gigs aren't able to run at the hotel due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"It's always been sitting there, taunting us with its proximity and promise," said Smyth.
"Now with the world gone crazy, we figured we would match that craziness by opening a fucking venue in the midst of the COVID mess."
Graham added, “When you consider that Sydney has day-time averages above 17c for the entirety of fucking winter, and a total of 17 days of rain out of 90, it is pure insanity to think about the severe lack of roof-tops being used as prime social and cultural spaces."
"This is about celebrating what we have to share with a world sorely in need of a good time," continued Smyth.
"We have a lot of sun in Sydney, we have a fucking rooftop, and we have the best fucking burgers in the world. Put them together with some beer or a bottle of vino, and we aren’t solving the crisis - but we might just stick a smile on some our staff and our punters at the same time."
Mary's On Top will be open 12pm-10pm Thursday to Sunday, and will be open from tomorrow.
Mary's Burgers will also be offering a 30% discount on food across all venues (Newtown, Circular Quay, Castlereagh St, Melbourne, Mary’s On Top) from 4-19 June "in solidarity with the salary cuts that almost all people have received across the nation".
