THE PUSH HISTORY
The name “The Push” is synonymous with a Blues & Jazz Club that operated in The Rocks in the 70’s, known as “The Rocks Push”. Its demise occurred in the early 80’s when the building in which it operated was demolished. The Rocks Push was associated with Jazz promoter Horst Liepolt and regularly featured Galapagos Duck and others, delivering a repertoire of swing, mainstream Blues, Jazz and Latin Jazz.

The origins behind the name go back to the early 1800’s when a group of larrikins formed a gang called “The Rocks Push” which terrorised the area and sailors frequenting The Rocks.



Situated at the gateway to the historic Rocks area, The Push sits on the ground floor of the much loved Russell Hotel building. Steeped in history and designed with character, the Sydney bar is open from noon with full food service every day until late.
