This pub certainly doesn't feel like a local pub, namely because it tries to capture the semi-rural…read moreatmosphere of Windsor. It feels a lot like one of those pubs that appeals to the daytripper up here, particularly with the architecture, and of course of lovely beer garden down near the river. It is a nice pub, and it certainly has a lot of atmosphere about it, and in fact, feels that it is the original pub from up this way. The other thing that stands out is that it does have a nice selection of beers as well though the service, well, it wasn't the best, but it was still good.

An old pub by Australian standards. The high water mark of the 1867 flood is marked on the outside wall of the pub. The only thing that I didn't like was the massive cloud of smoke I had to walk through and stand in on the verandah when it started pouring. I'm not sure on the food but may try it sometime.

Singlets would appear to be the dress code. The use of #@%& and bleep, bleep while your there is accepted from all patrons. Bringing your dog to roam around the bar area is also allowed. The cost of a beer wasn't any cheaper than any other place around the area so unless you fit in the category above or that's your life style I'd suggest somewhere else. It's disappointing. With the right atmosphere and patrons this could be a really cool happening place. I won't be back.

This was actually a really lovely pub, and it was one that I had no idea existed until I wandered…read morepast it. Okay, I have never been up to this part of Sydney previously, so I guess I had no idea what I would encounter, but this place literally appeared out of nowhere. It is probably more like one of those country restaurants, but in reality, it has a real nice charm about it that many places are lacking. Oh, and it has a nice outdoor area, though it doesn't have a huge selection of beers.

Not bad. But overpriced given the quality of nearby eateries. We picked it because they re-opened…read moreat 4 an hour earlier than nearby restaurants, and we didn't want take out.

Yeah, it is your typical suburban-type pub, even though you could consider Richmond to actually be bordering on being in the country.

A SOLID ROCKIN' JOINT…read more The Fitzroy Hotel located in Windsor has been an established watering hole for locals since 1853. I wasn't around for opening day - I just know this from reading a blurb on TrueLocal.com.au. The blurb also said: "With a recent refurbishment this pub is now renowned for the live music and live entertainment acts. The bistro here serves up traditional pub food, with hamburgers and pizza to meat. There is a wide selection of beer here both imported and local." A review on that site from HeyPesto stated: "The Fitzroy is pumping on the weekends and is an awesome place for a meal, a drink and live music. Once the bands finish their is a decent DJ who plays for hours. Their steaks are highly recommended!" Pesto has pretty much summed it up. Checked out the Fitzroy one night at the end of November 2012. There were plenty of posters for past and future rock bands. Good ones too. A rockin hard core band was playing in the AC/DC tradition of Sydney. Loud and good. The singer complimented the bistro, but I didn't try the food. I've heard the steaks here are awesome. Plenty of good draft beers on tap, including a killer pale ale 2 DIE 4. No bad vibes experienced from the staff or the patrons - even with my American accent. Actually they were openly friendly. Outer Sydney can get pretty damn rough and Australia doesn't pussify the guys like they do in America. Sorry dudes, but it's true. ** Hawaii and New York exempted. I used to live down the road from here. If I still did I'd for sure be hangin' at the Fitz with cab fare in my pocket. Five stars guys - you deserve it. How's this for a first review on Yelp? Don't think I'm over-generous - check out my review of the Heritage Hotel down the road in Wilberforce.

Waited 15minutes to order. The food was relatively quick except they forgot a cutlet. The lamb cutlets tasted were decent. There was very little seating left when we finished at 7pm on a Wednesday. Parking was full when we left. I suggest come early to avoid lines and parking issues. I would gladly come back.

The food tasted great, plenty to choice from with beers, a lot of places to sit but can get busy near lunch or dinner so arrive early if you want a decent table. Plenty of parking.

So far the quality of the beef pretty good sometimes you might get a tough batch but lately its really good value and as you can see in the photo, it's much thicker than other $10 deals going around. I always order medium-rare. If they are really busy, order one temperature down as it tends to rest a long time before you get the beep making your steak more overcooked than you ordered. The steak comes with a gravy, however a wide range of self-service generic condiments are also available such as mustard, tomato sauce, mustard seeds, bbq sauce, etc. Conclusion It a good place to catch the weekend games on the big screen with a beer after/during your Saturday steak. Other sections include a wine bar and live music lounge. If you stay long enough it becomes a full-on club with DJ. @thesydneynoob

#72 for 2021 This…read morewas our 1st night going out to eat of many. My cousin brought me here because she thought it would be cool thing to see. First of all this place is huge with several dining areas. They can accommodate several events or parties ranging from 40 to 300. Up to 1400 in their hotel facility. It is a brewery stoked well with their own. There's 6 of them plus other a few others from around the world.. They may have more now. When you walk there is a wall of kegs you can take selfies at. We did. It's a bit confusing once you get past that trying to figure out where you order or where you sit. The way it works you walk around looking at the different menus and offerings. There's lots to walk around too. I did it twice before deciding killing about 30minutes. Some stations were for specific items. Like one for the beer on tap. Another for desserts. I decided to go big and ordered the T-bone. It was a good size steak complemented with a only a baked potato. Over all presentation sure left something to be desired.  You could order some sides like a salad or something but I decided to pass to make sure I had room to finish. This was cooked to perfection. Juicy and seasoned. I wish I had some rice to soak up the juices off the plate. My wife had the regular burger.  And it was the same for her. We also tried the fish and chips my cousin ordered to share with her husband. Nothing wow there but it was delicious. The area we were in is called the Bistro. It is the main hub where most people will be. We found a table for 4 of us but no chairs. We waited for the buzzer to go off longer than expected but happy when we it did lite up. The Sports Lounge has one huge hi-def LED screen surrounded by several smaller screens. What ever is happening in the sports world you can catch it all here. Wasn't too noisy when I was checking it out but I could see this getting loud. Be sure to check out these other areas too. Kids are welcome in Playland where you will want to bring them. Run around all they want burning off  energy. It does get loud in there. The Sky Lounge has its own bar overlooking the Sports Bar. Great for meetings. If you want high ceilings with an indoor garden that basques in the glow of natural light that will be the Atrium. This would be good for baby showers and small events with a more personal nature. During happy hour it's $5.00 for the taps and wines. Mon to Fri 11am - 3pm take advantage of the $15.00 lunch specials that include their Core Range brews. I think this is a great place to visit having lots to offer. Australian Brewery can be the spot for many events with good food creating those special moments. We sure had one.

Great place to unwind and relax. However, be warned that if you are hungry then you better…read morereconsider coming here because here there is significant waiting time. Two separate counters for food order and drinks. Get queue for food order then get in queue for drinks order and mind you your waiting time in queue can be significant because it doesn't move fast. At the order counter they ask you for table no, and if you are alone then you probably point to the direction where a table is free, but by the time you are done queueing for food and drinks that table probably will be taken

It really feels like your typical suburban pub, that is basically being a sports bar with a VIP lounge and a restaurant, as well as a selection of tap beers that really doesn't spur my imagination. Well, now that I have been to this place once, I can mark it off my map and go and do something a lot more interesting.

The food menu has reduced significantly and the food just tastes just ok. Service was ok. A lot of kids running around causing havoc which is not my thing.

Don't let the exterior fool you!…read more I didn't realize how family friendly this restaurant/pub is. Ample seating areas inside & outside, and a play area for the kids. They even have specials on Wednesday night (Rump Steak for $16) and Thursday night (Schnitzel $16). I've become a regular here!
