First impressions last and this place has ticked all the boxes!…read more The Warwick is a newly established contemporary pub that boasts an awesomely fancy looking bar. A beer garden with its own bar and also an upmarket bistro. That has amazing food at ridiculously good prices! I had a beef wagu pappardelle pasta which was absolutely delicious and the wagu just melted in your mouth! There was also a sirloin steak ordered that was delicious and very well priced aswell. The atmosphere is just the big winner! Can't wait until it's fully renovated! This place is definitely going to be my new local!

Wow who knew such a nice establishment could exist on the border of Warwick Farm and Cabramatta?…read moreMost people are familiar with the Sunnybrook hotel which has only been rebadged as a Holiday Inn establishment. As part of the renovations and update, The Warwick has turned out as a pretty swanky hang out. I was here on a Friday evening and it quickly filled up with people and ended up being completely packed by 10pm.

In a city full of soulless TAB-illuminated meat markets, Terrace Bar is a breath of fresh air…read more A social experiment of sorts, Terrace Bar is the debut product of Newcastle's "small bar movement" and boy have they shown us what we've been missing. Set up in a faux-derelict manner (behind the bar is the only modern aspect to the place), it owes a lot to Melbourne's hipster-chic scene, from the boutique beer selection to the fantastic DJ sets and impromptu dance floor. The atmosphere is great, friends and completely without any of the confrontational attitudes that plague... well.. just a bout every other bar in Newcastle. Only minus is that the license is only til midnight. The host live gigs and other performances in the small venue upstairs and also have a rooftop beer garden (as I said: "Melbourne") which is now open from lunchtimes at the weekends throughout the Summer. Only open Thursday-Sunday, this is a fantastic addition to the city and hopefully it will thrive.

A hidden hot spot in the heart of Newcastle. I've never been before and walked right passed it. A…read moretruly deceptive entrance. I'm not a fan of dark places which seems to be a trend with drinking venues. However, taking the stairs to the top completely changes the atmosphere. Downstairs you'd think they would go out of business but upstairs is where the people are. Back down by the bar was a dj playing great music with enough space for an impromptu dance. Not my type of place but I can appreciate what they are trying to achieve here.

Great location for a cold beer and good Pub style food especially in summer…read moreLooking directly at the channel at the blue fast flowing water , don't forget to reserve if you can - a table as it gets extremely busy in the warm spring and hot summer days The view and club priced drinks make this place very good value The bus will even pick you up and drop you back home

Great atmosphere in the pub/taproom…read more We kicked off our weekend in the Hunter Valley with a stop here. The beer was very good. The Slacked Magpie was off the charts. One of the best beers I have had in quite sometime. It was considered a Vanilla Milk Porter. Very tasty. Other beers we had were good as well. Service was friendly and entertaining. Beer went well with the food we had at the adjoining restaurant that is part of the resort.

Great beer and brewery in Hunter Valley! I came here as part of a Hunter Valley wine tour with…read moreKangarrific tours, and I'm so glad we did! I'm not that big of a beer fan, but I am always eager to try new brews! They have 10 beers on tap, and my friend and I tried the ginger and citrus beer and the glitter beer. There is plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors, and I can see this place being THE place to be on a night out with friends. The staff were great and answered any questions we had. The beer and atmosphere were both great, and I can definitely see myself hanging out with friends here!

I savoured every last bite of the steak including the chips and salad. The mushroom sauce was also a wonderful accompaniment to the steak. Simple pub style seating next to a beer brewery. Next time I'll be back to try the beer.

I sort of stumbled upon this place as I was making my way back into Sydney from a rather long hike…read more I had decided to jump off the bus for a beer, and then found this rather nice place tucked away behind the pub. It turns out, as tends to be the case with most of these small breweries, that the beer, well, was pretty awesome. In fact, they have a number of different ones on offer as well. Even though it seems that most of the seating is outside, they also have a pretty nice upstairs area as well, and also a restaurant. This is certainly a place to check out.

Really cool brewery that is only a few months old and just cleaned up at the latest craft beer…read moreawards. You should 1st try the 'kite flyer' cream ale. It's their most popular and came highly recommended by the bar staff who said it 'just flies out the door'. Having said that, all of the beers are quite unique and tasty- got through 6 of the 9 beers on offer and wasn't disappointed at all. Each of their beers has a little description about its background/ where it came- some of which are quite interesting. If you get a chance, read up on the previous tenant- Really cool relaxed and easy going atmosphere, full of older people and has a welcoming feel- which is a nice change to the short skirts, meat heads and delinquents you get this time of night right next door at Mona pub. Also do take aways!! All the food looked great too. I tried the margarita pizza and the chips. Both awesome. In some magical turn of events the chips somehow tasted like those cheese and bacon balls when you eat them with the dip. Something I highly recommend.

I'm not sure there's an elevator so if you aren't able to walk up two flights of stairs, better give them a ringy-dingy before you head over. We went for the Jazz but started out in the 2nd floor for some finger foods and drinks. What a hoot!! The menu has a good variety of choices and we had the 4 cheese pizza and chips. Both soooooo good! The volume was not so noisy so we could actually talk and hear each other. Then the first band came in and, I'm sorry to say I did not catch their name because they were incredible! Their vocalist has quite a versatile range and adorbs. The guitarists and drummer were da best!!! We sat there longer than planned because song after song was wonderful! And, make sure you check out the ceilings!! Purty interesting to say the least. (If you are more a prudish type, I suggest not looking up. No judgement!) But, eventually we did go to the jazz venue.... Jazz. Hot Jazz! Mellow, delicious and...what can I say? This band was soooo laid back....and talented! Lots of great tunes from the '50's that were well done. Oh and.....definitely (!!!) check out the ceilings in here, too. I can not imagine what this building housed before Lazy Bones, but....just check it out! Parking on a Friday night...not too much in the main drag but we found side streets had plenty of free parking available. One more thing i noticed is the variety of age. Top floor was mostly 20's and up though there was a few more mature people, too. Jazz venue I'd say 30's and older. Yeah...we were the oldies but goodies at both places!! Lol. If you like jazz, if you like good music of any kind, get yoreself over here!!!

Licensed to 3am with great wines and boutique beers on tap.

This is a little bar on the main strip in Avalon. A friend of mine brought me here, and let's just…read moresay that it is a great little beach bar. If you are expecting fancy drinks and cocktails, then you need to head somewhere else. But if you want a nice drink, with a relaxed vibe and atmosphere then come right in. They do have a fine list of cocktails (nothing overly fancy - but sometimes that is not a good thing), and very good list of wine. This bar also does food - I honestly didn't try the food but it looked (and smelled) quite good. There is seats outside the bar, and also if you head back there is a small sitting area out the back. However, this is a small bar so if you are coming with a large group you might find it hard to get a table. Especailly because all the tables are for an average size of 4.

The Mill has a really quiet, easy going vibe (which is pretty much just Avalon in general) and has a decent selection of beers, wines and cocktails on offer. Staff were friendly and willing to make suggestions and the food smelt pretty awesome too! It's quite small- so don't come here with the extended family, but I will definitely be coming back here again. *for the record, nothing wrong with a Tooheys old every now and then- just making a point.
