The ground level of Jacksons on George will house a Public Bar and offer a contemporary lens on pub classics, old school cocktails with a modern twist and local beers on tap. Bistro George on level one will present a Euro/Oz menu championing local producers and suppliers before transforming, post-dinner, into a late-night bar featuring live music and a supper menu. Tucked under the striking architectural veil on the top floor is a food-driven alfresco Rooftop with a dynamic cocktail list.
