The commercial centre of the affluent Sydney suburb of Neutral Bay is Military Road. One of the busiest arterial roads on the lower north shore, it’s the main gateway to Sydney’s picturesque and world renowned northern beaches. The most popular and historic commercial establishment in Neutral Bay is The Oaks Hotel which opened in 1885. As the social hub of the suburb, The Oaks is an institution where lower north shore residents relax, celebrate, or just enjoy a quiet drink. It’s certainly not a place locals go expecting not to make it home.
