Actually, it was pretty late when I landed up here, so this isn't the after work crowd, this is the 'avoid the city like the plague due to the lockout laws' crowd. I guess these inner city pubs are pretty happy with that. Yeah, it was very difficult to actually find a seat, but the place was still pretty cool, and the patrons pretty friendly as well.

Their poke bowl and burger were good, but the food from their "specials" menu was mediocre. They had a good wine selection, so that was nice. Would I go back again? Yes, if it was someone's suggestion. But I wouldn't actively try to make plans to go back.

Amazing two night stay at the Fullerton Hotel Sydney…read more Housed in the former General Post Office, the hotel is steeped in history. The former GPO was constructed in phases. Beginning in 1866, the first phase opened in 1874. It was the first major building to open in Sydney. In 1891, the clock tower rang its bells for the first time. The Grand Staircase is stunning. Heritage Tours guide visitors through the historic icon. Today, you can stay in the historic GPO or the added modern tower. Our upper room suites were so quiet and comfortable. Definitely add breakfast to your reservation. So nice to sit in the elevated lobby overlooking the courtyard of the historic General Post Office. The hot entrees, cook to order omelettes or eggs, salad bar, cheese bar, fruits and pastries were so delicious. The spring rolls were so hot and tasty. Chocolate croissants filled with chocolate creme were divine. The onion twists were addictive. Love the cooked veggies, hashbrowns and fresh pineapple. Ask for fresh orange or pineapple juice, a latte, cappuccino or hot cocoa. Love the TWG selection of teas. Earl Grey. English breakfast. Waterfruit green tea. Original sencha. Grand jasmine. So many choices. Location is so convenient. Easy to catch the Hop On Hop Off bus, walk to the park, visit the Sydney Tower, or explore the stunning Queen Victoria Arcade. So many shopping malls close by as well. Sudeep and Milos were very helpful with my parents' electronics when they had challenges that I could not address. Thanks for the industrial strength adapter for their electronics. Thanks also for the Happy Anniversary welcome card and cake to help my parents celebrate a very special 60th anniversary. Such a sweet surprise! Highly recommend this Sydney landmark for an unforgettable stay in the heart of the city.

Food courts, attractions, local transportation, shopping, literally everything. Guess that is the plus side to staying at a hotel in the CBD district. I enjoy the many amenities the hotel had to offer. The restaurant and bar on the inside, as well as meeting rooms to hang out with friends and family. The blackout curtains in the room were fantastic! I'm the type of person that likes to sleep and pitch black room. The only thing I dislike about the room, especially being a five star hotel, there's a fact that there was not a microwave in the room. There was a mini fridge. I don't really have any pictures in the hotel or the room. The two pictures I attached one inch of you for my room and the other is a picture out front of the hotel.

Well, on my last visit to Sydney I finally managed to do so, and I have to admit that I was impressed - very impressed. Okay, when I was there they didn't have any live music, which was a bit of a shame, but it didn't undermine the awesomeness of the place. This is basically a grunge pub, and if you know me, I love my grunge pubs. Oh, and they had a pretty decent selection of beers on tap as well.

The last review for this pub was 3 years ago. How is that so?…read more Let's face facts. This was the first place I ever stayed in when I moved to Sydney from the Country back in1996. It's a shit place to sleep granted, because it's right on the corner of a hectic intersection. I don't know why we stayed here, probabaly because it is close to COFA where I went to uni, but there was a Green day concert on at the Hordern so it was entertaining people watching none the less. Aside from my 90s nostalgia, this pub is a Cricket and more mainly an AFL pub. When the Ashes are on, it's on. I was here at 8:30 am for breakfast beers and a $7 Bacon and egg roll. The roll was naff, and $7 but what are you going to do at that time of day when you're having beers, for breakfast? Something needs to line the stomach. We were not alone. It was as if it was a Friday night, and full to the brim with pink shirted Cricket fans who were also going to the 3rd day of the Ashes test. Side note: If you arent a Swannies supporter then get out, forever. It still seems to cater mainly for backpackers. The interior was covered with old band posters such as the Annandale used to have. They have Coopers on tap. Win. They clearly cater for events like the Ashes and open early. Win. They seem to still have a stage, which I imagine supports live music. Double win. Good for a stop over on your way to some sports or a gig at the Entertainment Quarter.

Should have opted for the burger. The calamari was front the frozen section at Coles and pizza was gross. Great spot for a pre game beer or 2 but wouldn't recommend coming for food.

Dangerously convenient to both the Sydney Cricket Ground and the Sydney Football Stadium, the…read moreOlympic Hotel is a friendly and unpretentious joint where everyone can come along and have a pint. The bar takes advantage of its sports-related location, and goes wild - on every wall is a TV covering a different game, race or match. On week day afternoons, tradies flock to the hotel for a beer and maybe a quick flutter, whereas on game days the hotel is packed with (sometimes obnoxious) fans, having a pre-game beer and getting stuck into the bistro's food. Fairly standard - pies, steaks, burgers, but done well and generously proportioned. The Olympic Hotel is a fun spot where everyone's welcome, everyone's friendly and there is absolutely no pretense - an increasing rarity in Sydney nightlife.

Three sheets to the wind, three stars to the Quarry!…read more I only ever come here when there is a farewell for someone leaving the company; You can find me here most Fridays. This place has a very definitive after work atmosphere. You come here for a few, get your night kickstarted then move somewhere else. They do have a great selection of beers; cluey + friendly staff; great vibe because everyones just knocked off for the week; Also the infamous Kraken rum resides here! Downsides? No three sheets pale ale even though it's on the menu. The Q tends to be a bit on the pricey side. It's one of those not enough staff too many patrons places so lines are lengthy and spills tend to linger... longer... I've done the upstairs gig a couple of times. Rooftoppy, nice view, and good amount of intimacy. Downsides there is very limited bar (unless you want to haul yo fat ass up and down the stairs all night) and it's even pricier (ultra kick in the guts when that work tab runs out!) Never done the food here, wouldn't know where to get it, or whether it's worth getting.

Think about bringing the whole gang along with you, it's great for groups, and has ample seating for prams and strollers as well. Give the Chicken Schnitzel or Parma a go, and for a second visit try the Steak & Guinness Pie, both are a fantastic long lunch treat. If you find yourself there for an extended stay, remember the nights can get quite busy. On Thursday nights, you'll find yourself battling to find the answer to 'What is the name of Spongebob Square pants pet snail' for the evening Trivia, and blaring out 'Equine' which is obviously the wrong answer. Don't worry the points don't matter that much... If you're in the mood for great atmosphere amongst good friends, taking in some local art, at this historic venue, then this is your new local.

This is the third time I stayed at this specific property and my first post pandemic. Location is great. It's right by George St. with all the good restaurants, walking distance from World Square and QVB, and Town Hall station is right around the corner. My only complaint is how long it takes to get an elevator. They only have two elevators and when it gets busy you have to wait a long while just to go up, and it'll take forever to go down because it has to make multiple floor stops. I don't remember this problem pre-pandemic, but I think this would prevent me from staying at this location again.
