The Village Inn Paddington

After visiting the nearby art galleries, we were looking for a nice place to stop for a casual aperitif, and The Village Inn in Paddington turned out to be a good choice. The terrace immediately stood out: very sunny, spacious, and welcoming. Despite being in a central area, the location on a street corner works in its favour. You’re not overly disturbed by traffic, either in terms of noise or fumes, which makes sitting outside genuinely comfortable. With the sun hitting the terrace directly and good weather on our side, it was a very pleasant place to relax. We kept it simple with food and drinks: fried calamari, fries, a beer, and a cocktail. Straightforward choices, but everything was well prepared and tasty. Even though the venue was quite busy, service was efficient and we didn’t have to wait long, which definitely added to the experience. Price-wise, it sits in the usual range for this type of bar in Australia, maybe slightly on the higher side, but still reasonable and consistent with the area. Overall, it’s a well-run bar that delivers exactly what you expect. A comfortable setting, decent food and drinks, and a good atmosphere. We had a good time and would happily stop by again in similar circumstances.

The Village Inn is a lovely spot with great vibes and wonderful food and drinks. We found this cozy place with a lovely balcony as we were walking down Oxford Street and are so glad we stopped. With many gluten free items available on their menu and tasty drinks, we would certainly come back again! Service was quick and friendly.

Usually like this pub but their happy hour today was a bit of a joke. $10 pints or a glass of Merlot for $8 (it was 27 degrees) - no other alternative wines because apparently they’d run out of their ‘bargain’ stuff. Happy hours should be about discounting the usual drinks not foisting cheap versions onto customers. Felt like the boys were sorted with their pints though. Why not offer spritzes for $10 or $15 if you’ve run out of the discount happy hour wine.

just another pub. they say jug of sangria but give you a big glass. image even shows a jug. that’s craziness. Update 18/12: it’s not a jug!!!! that’s the fricken point!!!

Perfect Surprise 50th at The Village Inn – Incredible Night! I recently threw a surprise 50th birthday party for my partner at The Village Inn in Paddington, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Sweets was incredible in helping me organise everything — so down to earth, calm, and on top of every detail. The space was just right for our group, with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made it feel both special and relaxed. The food was fantastic (everyone commented on it!), the staff were attentive and friendly, and the whole night ran so smoothly. Most importantly, everyone had a brilliant time — and the birthday boy was completely surprised and over the moon. Highly recommend The Village Inn for any celebration. We’ll be talking about that night for a long time!
