Places That Pulse Episode 8: James Hird – The Dolphin

In this new magical FIB series we shine a light on the most innovative hospitality attractions in the post Lockout Sydney scene. The coolest bars, restaurants, hotels. clubs. Where we meet the venue pioneers and operators who have refused to let the NSW State Lawmakers stymy their passion and creativity.

This is all about celebrating innovation, and resilience . The things that have kept the Sydney hospitality scene thriving when hundreds of quality venues have been forced to close. T

he iconic Dolphin Hotel in Surry Hills is truly one of Sydneyʼs hospitality venues with a pulse. It is a hatted restaurant, a wine bar, a casual eatery and meeting place. The various spaces in the art filled venue provide a cornucopia of fun options.

FIB went to meet and chat with The Dolphin’s Sommelier, James Hird, to hear all about what inspires him and his approach to wine.
