Great Music... Great Vibe.
The passion project of two real people (yes, Sean and Dolly) who want to share their love of great live music and the warmth of a superbly imagined bar space in which to experience it. Dolly brings years of hospitality experience running some of Sydney’s signature bars and clubs (and shakes a great cocktail or three), and Sean’s musicianship as jazz, funk and soul bandleader is legendary in the industry. Together they have created the new basement bar Sydney deserves.
Nestled in the heart of Kings Cross, the spiritual home of Sydney’s nightlife, Sean & Dolly’s is the ultimate destination for live music, delicious food, and a specialty cocktail menu with a contemporary local twist. “We want you to feel welcome and at home” says Dolly. “So when you walk down those stairs into our cozy basement hideaway you enter a space that’s both inviting and exciting. A classic nightclub vibe with exceptional service and unforgettable tunes. The perfect atmosphere, whether you’re here to ride the energy or just soak up the vibe. We call it the Sean & Dolly’s experience!”

Sean Mackenzie
Owner
I have been a professional touring and recording musician since I was 15 years old.
During my 40+ year career I have experienced the heady highs of performing to thousands of people, touring internationally with first class musicians and recording in some of the world’s great studios, and the ebbs and flows of the industry.
I have also worked closely with others to inspire and develop their musical ability, record and perform and it is my life mission to bring music and creativity into people’s lives and to encourage and support them to realise their potential for joy, love and contribution.
