The Marlborough Hotel

The Marlborough Hotel is a classic inner-west establishment with great food and plenty of open space, including a lovely garden. It’s dog-friendly and simply a great spot all round.

Good vibes and sick fish and chippies here. The fish has the crunchiest batter in Town. The chips was crunchy and mushy all at once. There is a quieter semi-outdoor area hidden in the back by the kitchen if you prefer more quietness.

Marly's beer garden has a "VIVID-like" feel during the night while impressively offering sufficient space for us to mingle - light blue at the very back while standard yellow at entrance. The adjacent indoor bar serves well for wet weather and dims down after late hours. The main bar at the front has a dance floor for those wanting to "kick on" without leaving the venue. Special thanks to Gilly in reaching out to us long ago before ticking Marly off the list after a long-awaited year!

Pool Comp sounds like a great idea right? It’s not. The Thursday night pool competition is dominated by professionals. With their outside bought $40 pieces of chalk $1000 cues. So if you want to use the house equipment don’t bother as the house chalk is rubbish. The house cues are in good repair but if you look at the tips they are chalkless as the chalk is equivalent to Temu quality. The cheap? Chalk Wont even stick to the cues. They wanted $20 to play which is ok as apparently you get a free drink. Honestly it’s hot 🔥 humid and the room is full of pro’s entering the room with pro cues in black cases. Anyone know a friendly competition without the professional money chasers please feel free to leave a comment and location thank you 🙏

Great bar! We visited during the day and had the place to ourselves! Couldn’t decide on the cocktails so had one of each! They were all great!
