Budding bar owner has second crack at launching The Troll in Milsons Point

A Sydney businessman previously refused permission to open a troll-themed bar in Milsons Point has come back for another swing at the project. 

Late last week, The Troll Pty Ltd submitted another development application for the site of 14 Ennis Road, seeking permission to convert the vacant site into a small bar called “The Troll”. 

An application submitted for this same bar was rejected last year by North Sydney Council, which cited heritage impacts, and claimed the application did “not include sufficient information to allow for an accurate assessment”. 

The bar, with seating for approximately 75 patrons, would open until midnight from Thursday to Saturday. 

Both sets of planning documents submitted to council claim the business would offer “craft cocktails, local wines, and premium spirits in an intimate setting” and provide a “relaxed atmosphere with distinctive interior design elements”. 

The bar’s social media page — as well as some planning documents — heavily feature AI-generated imagery of trolls.
