Of course I did, and I'd say that I did quite like the beer garden, though the beer selection wasn't that great. Still, it had a nice atmosphere, and was a reasonably nice place to have a beer.

Great local for a cheap schooner or 5 in the big open beer garden. Always filled with groups of…read morelocals catching up in the afternoons. Used to come here a lot during the $5 steak era (RIP). But after a string of failed culinary enterprises (including thai) there is new blood in the kitchen and a new $10 steak special that I might just have to try. Occasionally I make it down here on a Friday night for the meat raffle (provided by one of the best butchers in Sydney!). I really shouldn't be advertising this as if you show up and buy tickets my odds wont be so great...

Okay, it could have been a bit of a gimmick, but it certainly didn't look all that new, though I suspect it isn't because it was built back during the tudor dynasty (for obvious reasons). However, even though this pub lacked the one thing that entices me, that is a good beer selection, there is still a pretty good reason why I didn't mind this place, and that was the beer garden - it was nice, despite the fact that it happened to be populated by the smokers.

And it doesn't hurt that this deep wild-wild-inner-western venue is on the freakin bondi junction train line! #ftw Hump Night (Wednesdays, in a camel themed bar, capiche?) Comedy's opening night was brilliant, with a stellar lineup & full house. The decor description is best quoted to the night's MC- David Smeidt- who described it ss if a gay pirate was having a garage sale. Camels, camel themes, and some classic posters- the gay pirates responsible for decorating Camelot have definitely never heard the expression, "less is more"... I ordered a garlic pizza cos it was like $8. It was alright & for $8 I ain't gonna complain the crust was a bit hard tho. Some pretty amazing looking mezze plates were doing the rounds and making me regret my decision. Now that I know how easy it is to get to and groovy a venue it is I'm looking forward to joining the camel cult.

Random nights are the best nights, aren't they?…read more My friend Isobel sent me a message last week, with a Facebook link saying, wanna check this out next week in good old Marrickville? I was like, yeeerrrppppp, let's go. Why not, right? So tonight, I look at the Facebook page to figure out where it is and its like all trendy and ambiguous "in the back streets of Marrickville".... well, where the FUCK is that, eh??? Bloody thing. Well, I figured it out and I can't tell you how AWESOME it was! Dimly lit, trendy, hipster kitch. Think Shady Pines, but not so much Americana. Yes, cowboys. But also gypsies, persian carpets, camels and eastern flair. The owner, came over and introduced himself to us and was like, how did you hear about us? Well, we have the very uncool story that Isobel's mum told her about it. Yeah, I'm serious. LOL. We think it's funny as hell too, especially since the place was so great, so unknown. Her mum saw some live music here a few weeks ago. I should probably make up a cooler story about how I know about the place that makes me sound really awesome with my finger right on the pulse of avant guarde Sydney or something, so when I bring people here I can be like... yeah... I'm cool... man?!! We had wines which were delicious. I had an SA Pinot Noir. Hey, look! I'm trying to learn my wines! Be impressed. I'm a wine doofus. Downstairs is "Django Bar" which is I guess, not a music venue. Camelot is technically on the top floor, and is a music venue with some food... the garlic pizza is amazing. Perfectly garlicky and cheesy melty goodness. Sean Taylor was playing, he was described as a Chris Isaak acoustic guitar type.... well, wow, I could have easily stayed out til past midnight if it wasn't a school night. He was amazing. Everything was 5 star. I'm really glad to be able to write this review for such a great NEW establishment, but it's even better that it's in my home suburb of dear old MARRICKVILLE!!! Marrickville is seriously Sydney's Brooklyn. Seriously. Its coming up in the world. Watch out.

I visit the Tav every-single-week, but upon inquiring about hiring out your beer garden for a private function on a Thursday night, you say you wanna charge me a minimum 15 grand because the beer garden currently quote unquote makes "a lot of coin" and that by the time I want to hire it you reckon it will be making a lot more coin than it currently makes? I gotta tell ya you're dreaming. Not only that but I wouldn't be allowed to play my own tunes? Piffle. Yep you dont have pokies, but you dont have live music neither. You've mixed up our food order more than once, and well those tacos are starting to get soggy my friend. I am dissapoint. I guess profit really does come before locals.. It's a fine line between being the new kid on the block and a flash in the pan.

Well, at other times it actually isn't and the room with the velvet walls, comfy chairs, curtained off areas, and a stage with a rather noticable pole in the middle sort of gives most people the impression as to what goes on here. Well, I just came here for a beer, and a beer was what I had. The service was actually pretty good, and even the bouncer out the front was quite friendly as well. So, despite the lack of beers on tap, I should give credit where credit is due, even though I am unlikely to come back here at other times.

A captivating band consisting of a flautist, 2 guitar players, a kahuna box player, a singer and a live flamenco dancer put on a show here that feels like you're almost in a small bar in Spain. The house is usually full with an odd mix of Spaniards, backpackers and after work drinkers. Think gypsy kings, with an elegantly dressed, heel stamping, flamenco dancer. A great night out to change up your week!

Honestly It is fun to sit at the large windows, glass of Sangria in hand, live music in the background, and people watch for a few hours.

Both bartenders were quick, courteous, and gave awesome recommendations. I usually drink beer but since this was more of a cocktail bar, I started with a margarita. I asked for the basic, but the bartender quickly tried to get me to try the jalapeno margarita. I was quick to decline since I'm not into jalapeno or spicy drinks. The drink was mixed and strained into a martini glass... didn't seem to be as full as it should have been, but I wasn't upset. Drink tasted great, not too strong, too sweet, or too tart. I noticed lots of people getting the freshly pressed apple drinks, so I decided to try one. When in Rome, er, Newtown.... Asked for the Sailor Jerry and apple, but once again, the bartender was quick to recommend something different. He wanted me to try JD Tennessee Fire and apple. I know it's like Fireball, which I hate, but he was very persistent with his glowing recommendation, so I obliged. I'm glad I did, because it was delicious. You could only taste a hint of the whiskey, but mixed in with the fresh apple juice - which had a nice frothy foam on top - it was like cinnamon spiced apple sauce. Yum! If you don't listen to the bartender's advice, listen to mine! Prices? Eh, it's Sydney, not cheap. It is what it is. In the end, very pleased with my visit. Kind of annoying that both times I asked for a drink, they tried to convince me to make me something else (must have been competing on a promo or something), but hey, their advice was sound and if I didn't listen, I would't have had my delicious applesauce drink!
