Great range of items on the menu. The lamb shoulder was a great meal. Tasty slow cooked lamb, crispy chips, fresh salad, and refreshing yoghurt dip. The meal was of a generous serving. Continently located less than a one minute walk from Circular Quay. The upstairs space is inviting. Fresh natural air blows through the space, keeping it cool. Clean, tidy and modern toilets.

Just metres away from Circular Quay, the Paragon is a good pub to meet and grab a drink. It is quite dated and is nothing special but is in a convenient place to catch up with friends. You are paying tourist prices and there is an outdoor seating area as well.

Situated just a short stroll from the Light Rail on Alfred Street in Circular Quay is this great, historical hotel in a fabulous location 🍺 As a group of six people, we dropped in very late on Saturday night. I would like to go back and visit one sunny afternoon as there looked to be a fabulous beer garden outside! ⛱️ We ventured upstairs to music and a dance floor and a very unexpected ceiling decorated with vibrant umbrellas ☂️ We had jam donut shots at the bar and I'll definitely be back to explore this Sydney landmark! 🥂

We had our work Christmas party here. Second time. We loved last year, and decided to come back. The staff were amazing. Mathew really looked after us well. Even after several of our people came late and missed the canapes, he put on more food for us. Highly recommended and we will be back next year. Great for birthdays as well. Henry Aust Post Botany

Wonderful upstairs bar and restaurant to have drinks and a meal before our show at the Opera House. Had pizza and prawn pasta to share and we had a decent feed with drinks!
