Great old school pub down near the end of king street in Newtown. Came in on a Tuesday so not very busy. Had a few appetizers such as Korean spiced chicken wings. Very nice. Crunchy, good flavour and just a little hit of spice so if you are not a hot food fan, these are fine for you. Mac and cheese bites with a marinara sauce and some wedges. Fair price and I would of went with the 17 buck special on Tuesdays(schnitzel) but I had one the night before before. There is other good stuff on the menu and I will try next time I go. It's bigger than what it looks from the outside. It goes a good back and then opens up a bit on the left. There is a small beer garden down on the right hand side. Being the beer snob that I am, I was very impressed but what they had on tap. Looks like they have rotating taps from different brews on a regular basis. Much like hotel Sweeny in the city but this is better as you don't have to smell cigarette smoke while you are enjoying your beer. Would be nice if they served in pints and had tables out front or at least seats at a window so you can do some people watching. My first time here and will definately come back, especially to try new beers.

Had a great dinner at the Union Newtown. I ordered the rib-eye steak and it was excellent — cooked just right and really satisfying. Big shout-out to the kitchen and Chef Santo for the quality and consistency. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. I’ll definitely be coming back.

A great pub for locals and travelers alike and the best craft beer selection in the Newtown / Erko area. They run 15-20 taps, with meal, drink, and pool specials throughout the week. Food is best described as pub and some 'elevated' pub fare, and is quite solid with standouts being the eggplant parmi and lamb ragu. Front of house bar area is mostly for watching sports, live music, playing pool, or drinks with mates. Back of the house dining area provides a quieter experience that is very friendly for small and large groups alike.

Love Happy Hour at The Union. Good selection of nice wines my favourite is the Rose & Pinot Grigio on $6 a class from 4-6pm and they have just replaced the old arm chairs with new super comfy chairs. They do mal deals every night. Have friendly staff a strong local following and my favourite is the rear area quieter and had a power point where you can work away in peace and charge your phone. I go often after College mid week!!
