Well, it did have a house beer, but it wasn't all that nice, but that is probably what you would expect when it comes to cheap beers.

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.

One thing you must try, if nothing else at all is that thang they call a "Knuckle sandwich" Slow cooked and then grilled Beef brisket on a toasted sanga with slaw. Some of the tenderest beef you'll have for lunch today. Get the Sweet tater chips with black sesame Tempeh dip. Get the Buttermilk wings. Not all at the same time though unless you are sharing. It's filling food. Craft beer. If you've been to just about any pub in the inner west, you're bound to have seen 'Young Henry's' brand on tap. There is one called The Newtowner. Give it a crack. They have board games. Jenga! They have trivia. i haven't been to that yet, but it looks cool. I go here a lot these days. Looks like the baby teeth have fallen out, and the Henno has taken a big grown up bite out of in the Inner west for pub life.

A very, very welcome addition to Marrickville. It's a pub you actually want to spend time in!…read more They've done a good job with the layout. It's large, spacious, very open-feeling. There are stools at high tables, lower ones for small and large groups, and lounge-y low chairs and tables in the back if you want a bit more seclusion. Everything's still very new and clean, and is a mix of industrial/shabby-chic (think old luggage trunks for tables, glued-together Jenga blocks for menu holders, and tin buckets for your cutlery). Parts of it seem almost trying a bit too hard to be funky, but it's not overbearing. The food is mostly familiar pub items (schnitzel, burger, fish and chips) but with a few nice additions. The pulled pork roll is excellent. And their chips are delicious across the board, with lots of rosemary salt making them a cut above the average. They have lunch specials. They often have live music in the evenings. Their wine menu is small but better than pub average (Mudgee barbera, anyone? Yes please!). The only thing I find a bit annoying is that they have segregated counter areas for ordering food and drinks. I'm kinda disappointed to be leaving Marrickville now that the Ritz is here.

New! It must be a brand new pub. There was never a pub here before…read more.. Turns out, after some research, that the Ritz holds the license from the old owners of the Henson Park hotel. I was curious and It had to be looked up because they have a huge Pokie room here. Which, in our times, the license for is hard to get, let alone a license for a brand new pub. I liked the vibe. A two level pub, still under construction, there is an upstairs area that I snuck a look at. Perhaps a restaurant upstairs soon, and it's own rooftop parking. A good idea considering the traffic will probably spill over into local residential areas otherwise. Marrickville council staff had booked out the entire front section for their Xmas party, truth be told. ( Had me wondering about all the approvals and red tape, just for a laugh...) They were partying hard to the live music act, which sounded good up the front, but the speakers in the back eating area, did no justice to the sound. Volume was wrong. Could do with a better ambient sound system to even out the chat/music ratio. The decor I found to be pretty naff. The big light bulb lit "RITZ" looks cool from the street, but inside, the mix of old barrels which were really awkward to try and eat food on, to the old cable spool, smaller round tables seemed mismatched to the brand new tiling and the pre-print "vintage newspaper" wallpaper. Along with an attempt at rustic, with a mix of old lounge chairs and stuff that looked like it was picked up at council clean up, and brand new upholstered chaise style lounges, to me it was having a bit of an identity crisis. Down to the grit, the food here is really good. I had the Pumpkin and goats cheese Ravioli with some guilty pleasure, Butter and Walnut sauce. The Burger is also pretty tasty. Although I think some places do not understand the need for an actual plate when you order a burger, and that those wooden boards do not work. They have a good selection of Salad choices too. I was torn between a pulled pork roll and the Prawn and chorizo salad or the pasta. In the end I flipped a coin between the pork and the ravioli. I just couldn't choose. Thanks to "heads" I was pretty happy with my meal. They have some really good Wine choices, for a reasonable by the glass price. Beer on tap included Fat Yak. Cool for over 30s crowd. Was pretty packed for a Friday night. Parking is currently hard to get. A good edition to an ever gentrified Marrickville.

It's a Jazz club with live acts every night, its a bar lounge. It's sophisticated dark and intimate. " Once you're inside Step back", says the purple haired door mistress with the voice activated LED t shirt, "and look up". Apparently painted by a famous Sydney artist, there is a huge mural on the ceiling. The place was pumping on Friday night. Jimmy Vargas and Mia Mortal (say it slowly... ) Vargas like a Brian Ferry look-a-like is apparently a self titled 'Croonoir' from San Francisco's cabaret. Mia Mortal has been sashaying the burlesque scene for the past 25 years. The show was a stunner. The Owner Craig was at the door when we walked in, he told us he'd moved up from Melbourne, and had been running clubs like Lazybones for years. He said "If it's not underground, I'm not interested" I liked his Moxie, and I had to concur. The hipster scene seems finally on it's knees with the clientele here being an over 30s crowd. I admit, I felt very relaxed. I even saw a member of a well known Sydney rock band here. If you want to stay ahead of the game? Say Hello to sophisticated class! Lazybones you're doing it right. $10 on the door gets you entry. Wine and Beer are priced reasonably, cocktails at $18 seemed a little pricey, but it looked like top shelf liquor. The menu, while I didnt try it, featured "Bunny Chow" with pick your own topping for around $12 as I recall. There were also Samosas and curries. It's very loud on a Friday night, Adults only. Good for date night or a chilled out trip into sin alley.
