About.
Steeped in history and reimagined for the modern city, Our Skittle Place has evolved from a nineteenth-century bowling alley for sailors and soldiers into a vibrant retail and dining destination. At its heart lies Skittle Lane, paved with heritage trachyte blocks quarried in Bowral, a material that also shaped many of Sydney's landmark buildings. This stonework preserves the laneway’s industrial character while adding timeless authenticity to the precinct today.
Soaring above the laneway is a seven-storey atrium framed by contemporary architecture and enlivened by digital artwork. The design blends heritage charm with striking modern features, creating an arcade that stands proudly as one of the tallest of its kind in Australia.
Perfectly positioned in the Sydney CBD, Our Skittle Place connects Clarence and Kent Streets and is just minutes from George Street, Darling Harbour, Town Hall, Martin Place, and Barangaroo. Its central location makes it an easy meeting point and a natural part of the city's rhythm.
With a curated mix of cafes, specialty retailers, and sought-after restaurants, the precinct offers something for every occasion — from a quick barista-made coffee to a leisurely lunch or a lively evening with friends. More than just a place to shop or dine, it is a destination to discover, connect, and experience Sydney's unique laneway culture.
At Our Skittle Place, heritage and modern lifestyle converge, creating a destination that embodies the energy and spirit of one of the world's great waterfront cities.
