The Keystone Group was founded in 2000 with the opening of its first venue, Cargo Bar — which quickly rose to become Sydney's leading hot spot for locals and international revellers during the Sydney Olympics.
From the outset, it was clear that the group had a knack for understanding the way Sydney wanted to eat, drink and experience entertainment.
Over the next 14 years, The Keystone Group expanded to all corners of Sydney, creating a range of diverse venues each with their own distinct voice and place within Sydney's hospitality culture. It has developed a suite of premium brands that work together to ensure many of the desires of Sydney's discerning foodies and bar enthusiasts are met.
With a dedicated following throughout Sydney, The Keystone Group has adapted and matured to cater to the needs and tastes of its loyal patrons, constantly looking to improve and enhance the ever-changing local communities. The group prides itself on innovation and works with a variety of organisations in order to serve these communities.
A major development saw the group acquire a highly successful portfolio of restaurants including Chophouse and Kingsleys Steak & Crabhouse, as well as the exclusive rights to all existing and future Jamie's Italian Restaurants in Australia and New Zealand. This extended the reach of Keystone venues beyond Sydney to other capital cities including Perth, Adelaide, Canberra and Brisbane — further cementing the group's position as dynamic leaders in the hospitality sector.
With over 15 years of experience in developing a balanced mix of different venue styles, The Keystone Group prides itself on its reputation within the industry as leaders in service, personality, and its ability to talk to all generations. The company's continued expansion has also seen the evolution of its experience in working with key stakeholders and investors.
The group continues to identify significant opportunities both locally and abroad, welcoming the chance to collaborate with quality food and beverage brands who share Keystone's ethos and desire for large-scale growth.
