Food is decent and fairly priced. Great that advance reservation is possible. The pub is crowded with drinkers. Outdoor area has live singing. Glad we manage to visit the oldest pub in Sydney!

Great food and drinks. Beautiful outdoor setting to catch up with friends. Wait time is usually 10-15 minutes, it's better to book in advance, but worth the wait.

Ordered the pacific ceviche and beef stew and fried chicken burger. It took some time for the food to arrive but it was worth it! The ceviche was soft and the citrus was just the right amount. The fried chicken sandwich had a spicy red sauce and savory white sauce that blended nicely. The beef stew came with two slices of toasted sourdough. My only feedback is that it was not enough bread, we asked our waiter for more and he brought more slices. Placing a few chunks of beef on top of the bread and taking a bite was heavenly.

It's a pub casual to modern western restaurant with variety of Aussie, western, seafood, etc foods. Ambience with Live music in the evenings makes this place so cozy and vibrant. Foods are fresh and delicious. Sandwiches are in good portion and balanced. It's touchless digital order and service could be a bit slow in busy time. Most seatings are FCFS. Indoor booth seating needs reservation otherwise long wait time.

What a great place to eat at. There were several areas to seat depending on what vibe you wanted while eating. The guy at the front door was excellent, very welcoming and knew his stuff. The service, food and drinks were great too.
