4 Pines - Crown Street

Imagine stepping into the first 4 Pines mini-pub away from the Northern Beaches, nestled in a charming double-storey terrace in the heart of Surry Hills. 

Upon entering, your eyes are immediately drawn to the rich textures and layers that celebrate the original form of the space. The downstairs ceiling, stripped of its sheet plaster, reveals rustic timber joists, while the upper floor showcases exposed brickwork, adding a touch of historical charm. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a sense of authenticity that reflects the 4 Pines ethos.

The custom bar is a centrepiece of the design, constructed from chunky reclaimed timber boards that feel solid and sturdy under your touch. The generous bar top, wrapped in weathered zinc, exudes a rugged elegance, while the copper pipes running across the ceiling from the keg room and dropping down to feed the bespoke copper 4 Pines fount add a touch of industrial chic.

The seating options are varied and thoughtfully arranged. Banquette seating offers cozy, intimate spots for small groups, while high benches and keg stools provide a more casual, communal vibe. The lighting is carefully selected to enhance the relaxed mood of the space, casting a soft, inviting glow that makes you want to linger.

As you settle in, the sound of lively conversation and clinking glasses fills the air, creating a vibrant yet laid-back atmosphere. The use of sustainable materials throughout the design not only adds to the aesthetic appeal but also aligns with 4 Pines’ commitment to environmentally conscious practices.

Every detail of this micro-brewery has been meticulously crafted to create a space that is both functional and inviting, ensuring that patrons feel at home while enjoying the unique 4 Pines experience.

What 4 Pines love: “We love the creation of this intimate venue where locals can come and chat and enjoy our beer. The venue has been carefully designed to reflect our brand identity and underlying ethos, it’s a triumph!”

What Interior Designer James Tray loves: “I love the creativity from the 4 Pines team, totally involved and committed through-out the whole process. The existing building we worked with lent itself perfectly to creating a warm, welcoming venue that’s been embraced by the community.”
