This legendary Surry Hills watering hole, which tapped its first keg in 1873, underwent a complete facelift early in the 21st century. Alas, as is too often the way with Sydney pubs, all the earthy charm and profane character that had made "The Evil" infamous was lost. Icon Hospitality Group, who purchased the bar from ex-detective hotelier Keith Kelly in 2006, shut down the airport lounge operating in the Evening Star's name, but it has since reopened.
