What people say
Dog friendly beer garden, sheltered with shade. Staff were really friendly towards dogs as well.
This old school pub has a cool bar area with good selection of beer on tap. Our experience of the food was below average. Dry tasteless calamari was disappointing. Schnitzel was ok, but small serve for a pub. Nachos is pretty hard to muck up but half the chips were crumbs from the bottom of the bag. The staff were fine but really did not want to be there. The last frustration was in the outside area you share we it with smokers. I was hoping for a better experience...maybe I got them on an off night.
This place hasn’t changed since I was last here in 2005 and probably not for decades before that. A rarity in Sydney these days, an old school pub that hasn’t succumbed to the corporate overlords like so many others. Currently undergoing renovations and should come back bigger and better. Popular with the after work crowd any day of the week.
Had a lovely time with the boyz and a few beers. Open til late so it should be a great after work place to be….
Been going here since 2010, North Sydney resident. Took my Dad here while he’s visiting from the US and introduced him to the Beef and Guinness pie. He loved it, I had pizza which was nice but not as lovely as usual, however they do have major building works going on too . It was quiet from 12-1 but noisy after with the works . Still would recommend even with the building works going on.
