Thank you to Sean and everyone at Sean & Dolly's for such a great night! We had my partner Andy's 40th last night and it was so easy to communicate ahead of time. Everyone had an amazing time and commented on the great music, the grazing boards and how nice everyone was at the bar. See you again soon.

Sean & Dolly’s is a new bar that has opened its doors to support live music,People do yourself a favor. get off the couch and check them out. The venue has a calm welcoming safe energy to it. Great place to unwind after work. Nice glass of wine, nice atmosphere and incredible musicians. And that’s live music!!!!!! to the early hours of the morning.xxxx Hope to see you there.

Old school Kings Cross cool, run by people that understand real hospitality, this isn't some corporate business, it's about welcome and great music, it's the birth of a legendary venue in a place that's been aching for it by a couple that understand what's needed
Get here before your friends tell you about it
Response from the owner 18:19 19 May 25
Your words touched us more deeply than you could ever imagine. Thank you for your kindness, and for understanding it all so profoundly—it truly pulls at our heartstrings. We’re incredibly grateful.
