The White Bay Hotel was built in 1860 on the corner of the then Crescent and Weston Streets Rozelle, an inner-west suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Serving the workers of the Glebe Island abattoirs and soap factories, it was relocated in 1915 to make way for the White Bay goods railway.
Rebuilt in brick on what is now Victoria Road and popular with the wharfies (longshoremen) of the White Bay Container Terminal until the transferral of its facilities to Port Botany, the hotel, which became increasingly squeezed by the widening of Victoria Road after the construction of the Anzac Bridge, ceased trading in 1992.
On September 5 2008, after unsuccessful attempts to redevelop the site, the hotel was destroyed by fire.
