The Sydenham pub nearly levelled by a fire in 2018 finally reopened on the weekend, with its rebirth as a gastro pub carrying on a strong feminine lineage.
The General Gordon Hotel might have received its name from the military leader at the Siege of Khartoum, but it shone bright and early for women as home to one of Sydney s first female licensees, Bridget Smyth.
The hotel s current licensee, Sarah Lewis, has lured head chef Kirsten Baker from Vic on the Park, and the menu promises 12-hour beef short rib, an inner-west friendly vegan chickpea and sweet potato dish with spinach, fire-roasted capsicum and smoked avocado.

Eugene’s skyline has a flashy new feature as of tonight. At 6:00pm, a few dozen people gathered near the new Gordon Hotel as its large rooftop sign was ceremoniously turned on.
Casey Obie Barrett lead the countdown…
“3…2…1…
Gooorrrdooon!” (CHEERS, APPLAUSE) Well there it is, that sign will not turn off, ever again, he grinned. If it does, call the City of Eugene, because we’re on a redundant grid (LAUGHTER).it’s guaranteed.”
Barrett is executive vice president of Obie Companies. The Gordon Hotel is named for his grandfather, and is part of the $75 million Fifth Street expansion.

Excavators razed several old structures during the $200 million renovation. Several groups now have pieces of that legacy.
Obie Companies President Brian Obie said it’s part of their 5th Street Market expansion:
“We were fortunate enough to be granted steps out of the old stadium. We will make benches out of those, it’ll be close to the Nike Store, Obie told KLCC.
