The Mexican corn croquettes was good, hot and tasty. The girl at the counter was a bit rude. As a foreigner, I just started ordering - she interrupted me to ask pleasantries, apparently you must first ask how she is before placing an order. Not a great welcome to ones who do not know what is expected.

How often do you get to go to a brewery and have fresh beer in the city area!? Not often I'm sure!…read more Rocks is basically one of a kind brewery! Close to city, great beer, great food! With lots of parking and easy access! Basically awesome! I especially love how they have got lots of exclusive beers and they change it around a fair bit quite often too! Certainly worth trying!

No, not classy, hip, trendy, but not classy. Actually, the back area certainly has its charm, especially the caravan that has been set up as one of those private areas where you can get away from everything. Oh, and the interior is pretty good as well, and they also offer that rather nice beers.

Although the décor has its charm, sadly this bar seems to be relying on this alone at the detriment…read moreof the food, drinks and service. I paid $10 for the "Starving Artist" plate which consisted of Jatz Crackers, Cheese cubes, and Cabanossi. The martinis and negronis were nothing to write home about - especially at $18 a pop, and in an all but empty bar it took me a few goes each time to grab the bartenders attention to get another round. Take your own food and drink if you wanna check this place out.

Like most of these small breweries they have a great selection of beers, though I do note that this place certainly is quite popular, since it can be difficult to find a seat at times. However, the main reason that I come to places like this are for the beers, and the beer selection here is certainly pretty good.

Young Henry's has good energy from jump with a hilarous House Rules poster that includes no d*cks - I giggled over that for far too long, lol. That said, I wasn't very impressed with the beer offerings (HUGE BEER SNOB HERE), but I really liked the space and enviroment. Young Henry's is covered in cool murals and tchotchkes, many of which are hilarious. If I was a Newtown resident, I'd be hanging out there all the time. Truly wish I'd been able to visit again before my Sydney trip was over. Hopefully there's a next time. Excellent visit.

Well, it certainly turned out to be worth it because the atmosphere was great. The staff were really friendly and welcoming, which is something that always grabs my attention, and there were also some pretty nice beers on tap as well. This is another one of those bars I'd have no problems returning to in the future.

They have occasional Live music, although the venue is small it isn't overly loud and your friends are still somewhat audible during. I love the changing selection of beers on offer (Had a watermelon pilsner I'll never forget) and a pretty mean cocktail menu for the brave. I haven't had the food here as of yet since Newtown is bursting full of new places but no matter what I tend to come back to this little bar.

Full bar, craft beers on tap, demonic murals and sick, twisted graffiti on the walls, sets the tone. Kinda a "filthy hipster" vibe. One of the servers had a tee shirt on that said "eat dick mate" it's like that. And the food. Sick burgers, some of the best in Sydney. Done properly, fried on a griddle, old school. Nice squishy toasted buns. Fucking yum! Fried chicken, their other specialty, equally awesome, offering mashed and gravy. Not sure what Aussie obsession with gravy is all about, but they offer it in portion cups like catsup in the States. WTF? Mary's gravy is worthy of the extra calories to help lube up the crusty, fried chicken. Their have been some mixed reviews about this place, but it's legit in my book, rock on Mary's!

Great hangout, cold beers…read more We showed up later, so we were able to find a seat and get quick access to the main bar. We ordered in person but each table has the ability to order directly to the table. The upstairs bar closes early, but the party remained downstairs The pints are served full and cold. The barkeeps are super nice. It is a place that is more mature than the surrounding clubs, so despite being loud and dimly lit, it will not have the rowdiness and strobing light of the youth filled locales. Great for chilling.

The movie didn't start right away, so we grabbed some food. They have pretty good deals from Mon-Thurs. $15 for parm and pint on Tuesdays! And its huge and you also get fries and salad. I didn't feel like eating that so I got the mushroom and haloumi burger, which was really nice. It came with these ginormous wedges - both regular and sweet potato. Good but too thick for my taste. Had some of my friend's chips, which was yummy. After we ate, we proceeded to the roof top. It was a long way up, had to climb numerous stairs! The set up of the movie was really cool. They had the tables laid out and had our names on paper reserved on the table. Mine said Rachel Q and her crew, which I thought was really cool. We sat down and they started handing out headphones. Its pretty cool because they are loud enough and you feel like you're in the actual theatre. For the 10 bucks, you also get a glass of red or white wine or a beer, which is a really great deal. In addition, they passed out popcorn! Huge fan, will come back for more silent movie fun!

This place boasts 3 rotating taps and a Newtown-worthy selection of about a dozen or so bottles. I grabbed a Sierra Nevada and settled in to wait for my date. The smell of pulled pork filled the room and I couldn't resist ordering a couple of sliders (pork or beef $5/each, $12/3). Both were pretty tasty. I'd happily return to Secret Garden next time I'm early for a gig at the Enmore.
