Warwick was always a firm believer in the values of pride, passion and personality. He believed in the importance of being proud of your work, had a huge passion for the hospitality industry, and used his charismatic personality to create the best possible experiences for customers and staff.
After Warwick sadly passed away, siblings Martin Short and Paris Ballantyne, along with mother Ros Short, created W. Short Hospitality in loving memory of their publican father and husband, with the aim of continuing his legacy and instilling his beliefs into its pubs, hotels and staff.

Misfits is an eclectic new bar and dining local in Redfern – a little bit quirky and full of personality. Perched up on the first floor of an iconic building that straddles Redfern and George Streets, we invite you to follow the neon sign up the stairs to a lively bar that flows through to a relaxed dining space, private dining room, laid-back cocktail lounge, and a glasshouse courtyard.
The interiors favour an eclectic aesthetic over a more polished style and feature splashes of retro colours and neon. It’s a little bit 60s, a great deal 70s, whilst also embracing of a new-age Redfern. Five different spaces within Misfits are subtly combined into the one venue and feature a mix of bar stools, booth seating, casual dining tables, and lounges throughout the split levels.
