The Trinity Bar, one of the institutions of Surry Hills, has been sold by the long-time owner Ray Reilly to Pete Calligeros, the established owner of the Rag & Famish in North Sydney, for $8.5 million. CBRE Hotels national director Daniel Dragicevich​, who steered the campaign, said demand was high for the pub and the new owners will keep its tradition, fringe-suburb atmosphere in tact. "It's great to see an asset change hands from one traditional hotel family to another, with the knowledge that the sovereignty of the venue will be preserved under a similar style operator," Mr Dragicevich said. Another attraction was the soon to be constructed South East Light Rail linking Central Station to Randwick, with the only proposed Surry Hills stop being on Devonshire Street, not far from the Trinity Bar.
