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.

I recently went back here for the rooftop cinemas and watched Die Hard with my friends on a Tuesday…read morenight. We booked online for 10 bucks each and came here around 7PM. 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!

But the staff (though the one reviewer was correct - are young) they were nice enough. I was in the main dining room and the atmosphere is astounding.

Just had dinner at the Lord Dudley, Paddington. The service…read morewas excellent - very pleasant staff. The environment in the formal dining room was noisy but atmospheric. However the environment in the informal dining room is a bit spare - not inviting. I had the beef pie in a dish. The pastry was wonderful but the meat chunks were very dry! The mushrooms in the sauce were nice but the taste was bland until I put in some of the very nice house red - that should have been the chef's job considering the expensive price of the pie! My partner's hamburger was minimalist in both ingredients and taste :( The Lord Dudley Paddington is in one of the richest suburbs in Sydney. How sad that the fare is so poor.

Still, it was a rather pleasant, and quiet, place to grab a drink, particularly since it was a Friday night when I passed through here. Like a lot of the pubs down here, there were some pretty nice beers on tap, and the staff were nice as well, however it really wasn't a favourite.

I'm on the fence about this one. I may need to try again to say which way that experience pushes…read moreme. There were seven of us for lunch today. There was not an abnormal wait to get our food. I had a delicious Cesar salad. Those who ordered a favorite kale with fig salad complained there was excessive dressing today compared to other days. The decor is a bit bi-polar. The front of the pub is your typical dark area with small tables. I much preferred the back that was filled with large communal tables and lots of light. The staff member who took our order at the bar then delivered our order. He complained of how busy it was and seemed annoyed. He could use some hospitality training.

Mind you, it is pretty much one of those backpacker nightspots, which is what Kings Cross has really become these days. I have been here a few times, and it does have a pretty decent upstairs area.

Saw the sign outside for the special of the day: curry. I love curry. My fiance loves curry. We…read morelove trying new restaurants so we walked in. Ordered the curry and some grilled halloumi. Visually, the curry was disappointing. As far as taste, it didn't taste bad but it wasn't good either. I swear I remember they advertised it as the best curry you'll ever have. That's definitely not true, but I doubt the sign was meant to be taken literally. I don't think you can really mess up halloumi, so that was as good as expected. The inside decor is nice from what I could tell (it's really dark in there at night!). The bathrooms are clean. This place wasn't particularly memorable. I think they probably get a lot of tourist traffic.

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!

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?
