The HISTORY of SOFIE'S
Sofie opened for the first time downstairs in 1977
before the re-development of the building at 386 Darling Street.

At that time, Dawn Fraser owned and ran the local Riverview Hotel
and the Balmain Bijou Theatre hosted the Rocky Horror Show with
Reg Livermore in the leading role .

Customers would go to:
Dawn's Riverview Hotel for a pre-dinner drink,
Sofie's for dinner,
followed by a viewing of the Rocky Horror Show.

A complete night out.
More than a few years later, in January 2010
Sofie & husband Peter, re-opened UPSTAIRS.

DINING HOURS

DINNER 6pm - Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
