However, being in Sutherland, it does make it a decent place to jump off the train and grab a beer. Actually, if you are travelling all the way out here you might as well just stay on the train.

Mind you, there was a public holiday the next day, so I am not all that surprised, and it was also the middle of summer.

There were some nice beers on tap as well, so I will say that it was quite charming.

At first it didn't look like much, just an old cruddy pub in the suburbs (though a pretty fancy suburb), however when I stepped out the back into the beer garden the atmosphere did pick up somewhat.

Well, that changed on Fathers Day, as I popped in with the wife, my old man and my kids for a well earned frothy chop or two, following an afternoon across the road letting the kids go wild in Sydney Park. The fist thing that struck me was just how homely and relaxing the vibe was inside the main bar. Not pretentious, no overly deafening modern music where you gotta shout to be heard. Just a really chill, laid back enviornment. It retains it's historical value with (clean) old school tiles on the walls, and you can imagine the setting being very similar if you were transported back to the 60's, 70's and 80s when the venue was most likely frequeted by the workers from the brickworks and various factories nearby. You could see the dodge, Neddy Smith, Roger Rogerson also drinking heavily in a bar like this. The pub has a great range of craft and standard macro lager beers on tap, and a healthy range of tinnies and stubbies in the fridges. Very much like most pubs in Newtown. My old man was pleased to have Guinness on tap. Sadly, didn't eat this time around (except for a bowl of chips) and they were very nice. The menu looks inviting, and with the kids loving the park across the road, I'm sure I'll find an opportunity to come back and try their well advertised counter meals. Staff were friendly, approachable and nice, just adding to the overall chill vibe of the venue. Awesome pub at the very southern tip of Newtown. I think it's practically Erskinville at that point, but definitely a place I'll come back to.
