In the few years leading up to the old Hotel Darwin 1999 demise, they would have hardly sold enough beer to keep the doors open. It was a haunt for a pickled Queen Mum (Peter Morgan) and that was about it
They say it had cancer with lots of rubble only being held up by the plaster ceilings
I had stayed in the place a few times and can attest to it being a dank old ****-hole
Still, something similar on the site would have been nice
You dont have to be insane to go clubbing it on the Mitchell street strip nowdays, but it sure helps.
