The vibe for Sunday lunch is incredible. Looking what the special was...obviously a roast...I couldn't imagine finishing the meal.The plate was so full and even a trucker couldn't put that amount away! The atmosphere is lively and a vacant table is quickly grabbed by people waiting. The music isn't too loud and you can hear people speak across the table. There is always a special that is reasonably priced and for the bird of a girlfriend...yes there are small meals.

Yeah, the staff were pretty cool, but there wasn't really that undescribable thing that would want me to give it more than I actually have. It's okay for a drink, but there are much better places in Newtown to explore.

Great renovation !!!! As a regular at the London Hotel, it was a sweet surprise to see the back…read morearea has been renovated. The first thing you see is the space - totally opened up the area but shame you can't see into the kitchen anymore. There are now high communal tables to eat at, low communal tables and a couple of pinball machines !! The food is consistently good here and what I like about this place is if something is working for them food wise, they don't go all 'SURPRISE' on your ass by changing the menu too often (although now that I think about it, there were some new items on the blackboard hmm the quinoa salad and the tacos???). The staff though can be hit or miss - the other night was a MISS unfortunately, but this certainly won't stop me from coming here and it shouldn't stop you either !! Give it a go for a really laid back casual school night out !!

Nestled in a quiet street in Paddington just off the bustling Oxford Street, The London is one of…read moremy favourite pubs in the area. Whether you're there for the big screen to watch whatever match might be on, or just there to chill out and have a couple of beers, this is an ideal venue. The front bar area has a number of high tables with stalls while out the back there is a small garden area and another indoor area - this one with low tables and seats. The pizzas are pretty damn good here too, my most recent outing there seeing me try the prawn and chorizo ($22) - didn't need any help finishing it (and not because I'm a fat b*stard). They're a bit pricey, but nevermind, they're good! As long as you like your thin and crispy pizzas. There's plenty of other menu choices if you're not in a carb mood. I'd highly recommend this as an establishment to pop into if you're in the area!

Honestly, there really isn't all that much about this pub that is all that impressive. Okay, it…read moreisn't a bad pub by no means, but it really doesn't have all that much about it to make it stand out from the many over pubs that I have visited over the years. Still, I probably won't go as far as to suggest that it is standard, it is okay, and the staff are reasonably friendly as well, but it really isn't all that much beyond that.

It's one of those Hotels thats nestled away in the backstreets of Alexandria, known to locals and…read morenot so to out of area folk. It's neat, clean and with friendly staff ..... what more could you ask for ?. There is a good selection of beers and ciders and wines ..... It has an option of indoor and outdoor seating for those with four legged friends. I've been coming here for many years and have to say it's consistent ..... always doing what a Pub should .... the food is of good quality and with a varied menu should be able to cater for most, including kids. For me, it's the front bar .... I normally like to sit at the bi-fold Windows that open up and present the Park across the road. At this spot I just sit back and watch the world go by, with refreshing Ale in hand .... nothing else matters at this point.

They have happy hour but it's very unclear what the prices are and what's on it. It runs from 4-6p…read more The bartender said it's a gamble which ones come up. They were clear on beer though- the ones on either end- but I don't drink beer so I don't care. I ordered the Paraíso cocktail first, not on special, then a margarita, not on special also a glass of rosé wine also, not on special. The sign says- wine, beer, cocktails. The margarita was good but took 15 minutes, I think the one guy was newer and didn't know where things were. The staff was very pleasant but again, I only came because of happy hour and it being next door to my hotel.

Update 9 months later - went back for a specific night and ti see if anything had changed as the…read morelocations is convenient. This is the first time we have tried it again since the review below. Seems not much has changed and in fact has become more about what the manager wants rather than their patrons - you know, the people that put money in your POS. No real change to the wine list - dreadful options and very limited beer and alternate options downstairs. There is more upstairs but should I really have to walk upstairs every time I want to get a drink? The day we went, the sport on the TV is determined by what the manager wants to watch - even if the groups sitting in the area are all asking for a specific game. There was literally no one left sitting in front of the main screen, instead all huddled around a small screen inside. Broke up our group. Service rating down - this has NOTHING to do with the staff behind the bar who are delightful working the best they can with what they are given. This downgrade is purely a reflection of the service of the owners / managers and consideration of their patrons.

You cannot judge this pub just based on its apprearance from the outside because once you step in…read moreyou feel like you're in a suave restaurant! Kitchen is run by Head chef James Wallis and sous Chef Alvin Valfuna ( I only know this as it was on the menu :P) Staff were very lovely and courteous. We got to sample a few entree's including the ox tartar, wild boar terrine, yellow fin tuna, beetroot carpaccio and the hiramasa kingfis. My favourites were the kingfish and the Ox tartar. For main I had the 250g rangers valley wagyu skirt steak with served with hand cut chips, zucchini, lemon and olive oil - cooked med well the steak was perfection! Loved the hand cut chips - little crispy on the outside. Dessert was also a delight with my favourites being the pumpkin panna cotta and and the coriander ice cream (weird but tasty). Overall, It was a great first visit and I will indeed be back!

Sometimes I wanna feel cool when I'm drinking. (Sometimes not, but that's another story)…read more You'll always feel cool at the Tilbury, 'cos it's that sorta place. The crowd is sharply-dressed but laid back; this isn't a pregame pub, or a uni bar, or a hipster den. It's a perfect inner city oasis, a big, airy, well-lit castle packed with discerning people doing discerning things. I want to be one of these people. Can they smell a pretender? They haven't yet. And I'mma keep going until they do. The food is excellent gastro pub fare, and the big wooden deck area is worth the price of admission alone, and when you consider there isn't a price of admission it's really costing you more NOT to come here, isn't it?

Huge, high ceilings, darkwood floors, light streaming in through giant windows, and a penchant for partying that blows the pants off me damn near every time I go there. The other month it was their birthday party with art installations and live entertainment, today it was the Superbowl, with 50c buffalo wings and the game on a colossal 3.5m big screen. I don't even know what next time will bring but I'm little kid excited.

Had lunch here last week, and we sat in the outdoor section which was almost too bright. The…read moreatmosphere outside was pretty good even for a mid week lunch though I imagine it would pick up on the weekends and really shine. I had the trio of sliders - beef, chicken and pork. Which sounded awesome on the menu, and which look great in the photo, but what you don't get from the visual is that they were quite dry. Did I mention how bright it was yet? One of our entourage had the Gamberi pizza and really ended up regretting it, because it was mucho grande on the garlic and poco pequeno on the prawns. I also regretted it as I was forced to endure 63 minutes of death by passive garlic breath as a participant on a conference call later that day. Travelling inside to get drinks we were greeted with a dank dungeon dimly lit by magenta neon sleaze. I'm sure I spotted a raised dais, all that seemed to be missing was stripper pole steel. Returning outside again I was reminded just how bright it was. My eyes struggled to readjust, and it seemed almost ridiculous that there wasn't some sort of trendy sail or shade set up to block the obvious saturation of sunburst that this outdoor patio was forced to endure... Was I burning? Was I burnt? I had to swap seats to ensure shady coverage, and it wasn't until we'd been there for literally 45 minutes the wait staff decided to show off the electronic shade cloth they'd decided wasn't worth using till most of us were lobster bisque red. So how was the service? It wasn't what you'd expect from a restaurant but is maybe indicative of a bar selling bistro style meals. Everything came out at different times. Would we go again? I can almost bet we will, but no doubt we'll skip the garlic, ask for the shadecloth straight up, and leave our expectations at home. priceless tip: Bring sunnies (and maybe even a hat) if you plan on sitting out the back of Bar 100.

I guess the porch really did it for me - one of those newer pubs that deliberately created a porch where patrons could sit at with a beer in hand and either chat, or read a book if they are like me. The other thing is that they also had a decent selection of beers on tap, and that is always going to win me over.

This is a counter order and pick up kind of joint so don't expect full service. In fact I would say the service in all is pretty mediocre. We experienced rude wait staff and was miss- rung up for our bill. However, to Rocksia's credit the manager did come over to offer a free drink to my BF's Aunt which helped to ease the hard feelings. The EATS...HUGE portions. I ordered the Chicken Schnitzel and chips and had enough to take home for lunch the next day. Another plus is that Rocksia does promotions like saving your receipt vouchers for the next time you come, 2 for 1 meals. All in all a pretty decent joint and good value.
