Trademark Hotel

Former location of one of John Ibrahim's many clubs. 'The Trademark' was an infamous spot in the last years of the strip's "golden age" of debauchery. Has been turned into a Holey Moley putt-putt but remnants of the old nightclub are still there, including bathrooms which remain unchanged.

"Following an incident in April 2011 involving NRL Roosters players Todd Carney and Anthony Watts, the NSW Government ordered an inquiry into whether the Trademark hotel, located in Kings Cross and owned by Ibrahim, breached laws on the responsible service of alcohol. The inquiry follows the December 2010 incident involving John Hopoate, who was subsequently convicted of the assault of a patron outside Trademark. It was reported that since July 2009 over 529 assaults have occurred either at Trademark, with Trademark security staff involvement or near the venue. Trademark is presently subject to a reduction in trading hours, restricted patron numbers, and increased security by scanning patrons with metal detectors" - Wikipedia.

In 2013, retired NRL winger John Hopoate and bikie associate Mark Judge officially became the first two people banned from pubs and clubs in the Cross by NSW Police.
