The Yorkshire Rose Avalon Beach

Pub

👍👍 We booked a group of 20 people. Booking and communication between myself and the owner was a breeze especially dealing with such a large group. I know it can be difficult to have all that run smoothly but Ingrid was always quick to respond and a delight to deal with. I was impressed before we even a...

The Blind Bear Cronulla

Bar

👍 At first glance you would think the Blind Bear has closed down or not opened to trade. But walk through the first door and then a second and it’s as if you have stepped back into the 20’s, in the era of prohibition and underground liquor spots. Awesome looking venue with a limited menu for food but...

4 Pines Brewery - Truck Bar Brookvale

Brewery

👍👍 This is such a great concept - and they nail it. It's a cool bar in warehouse in an industrial estate, with a limited range of good pub food, a fantastic selection of their beers, and on some nights, great music. Finding it is the hard part - buried inside an industrial estate, with signs everywhere...

4 Pines Newport

Brewery

😐 I love this pub. Awesome vibe, awesome staff, awesome product. However, we ordered a $25 chicken burger to be delivered today, and chicken was minimal. For $25 bucks that chicken needs to premium, thick, hanging out the entire perimeter of the bun. Please don't drop the quality and be less than exce...

The Lord Nelson Brewery Hotel

Hotel

👍👍 Just love this place. It's on our 'must visit' list whenever we go to Sydney, hubbies favourite pub! We were there early evening on a Friday and it was busy with a mixed crowd of work colleagues catching up for a drink after work or friends starting a night out. I opted for the porter which was deli...

Macelleria Newtown

Meat dish restaurant

👍 Straight forward but quite a big menu, definitely something for someone type of place. Price is a bit steep for us for what it is, as nothing comes with any sides/sauces, and those and add ons, but still delicious and filling. The burgers were a better deal than the steaks, but considering how many...

Forest Lodge Hotel

Pub

👍 This place is massive. So many options for seating, indoor and outdoor. The atmosphere is very laid back, it seems like the type of place you'd randomly stumble upon and sit in to chat with friends over drinks and some light food. The service during Covid allows you to order online on your phone and...
