Henson Park Hotel is a proper inner west local — a community pub that supports the local footy club and genuinely welcomes dogs and kids. Dogs are allowed in the beer garden. Wicks Park is around 515 metres away if your dog needs a run before settling in.
Dogs allowed in beer garden outside.
From the moment we arrived, the vibe was welcoming, and relaxed. The food was absolutely scrumptious — every bite hit the mark — and the service was next level. The staff were not just friendly, but the kind of friendly that makes you feel like a regular straight away. What really stood out though was how dog-friendly the place is. They clearly love pups, and mine soaked up all the attention like a celebrity on tour. It made the whole experience even more special being able to just relax and enjoy it together. We had an amazing time and will definitely be back. Huge thanks for such a great day out! 🐾✨
Ah the Henson Park Hotel (aka 'The Henson') - my local Inner West drinking hole. Stalwart of the community, supporting local footy, dogs, and kids welcome. A great example of inclusivity in Marrickville. Great food options and excellent beer selection with a pool table in the sports bar and no pokies on site - instead they've got a games room! Beautiful art-deco bones, renovated with care. Come in for a beer midweek and get treated like a local. Bring the family on the weekend and then the ferals run rouge in the designated kids area! What more could you ask for? Cracker location, walking distance from Enmore, Sydenham and Marrickville markets. This pub shouldn't be slept on! Great food, great tunes, great vibes. Support this community pillar, buy a bevvy or a meal - bottle shop also available! Keep up the great work gang! ❤️
Good overall vibes and some parking in the area. Food was decent but took a while to come out during the busy evening. Shoutout to the waitress that took our order, she was very understanding and accommodating of an order to our mistake
I found this place by accident. It has several seating areas, all different, some outside. Its a great placevwith great food, and a varied choice of beers. Give it a go, I recommend it.
A buzzing Marickville local pub serving up some great food. There’s heaps of seating both inside and out, though on a Saturday it’s advisable to book as it’s very busy. It’s also kid friendly.
