East Village Hotel Balmain reviews

4 Star Review by Alan Walmsley

Decent pub. Inside and outside seating, devoted and pleasant staff, extensive range of drinks and food fresh and tasty. Chicken schnitzel was as it should be. Was a busy night but all worked out well.

4 Star Review by Elizabeth Munro-Ginn

Lovely back courtyard, a great spot to sit out in good weather and not overly busy either, mostly frequented by local families. The front room of the pub is also nice and cozy, though the indoor dining area has been modernised a little too much for my personal preference. The staff are friendly, the pub is dog friendly, overall a good quiet local.

5 Star Review by Jackson Fitzpatrick

Awesome place and even friendlier staff! Short walk from the ferry. I brought a group to EVH for a reunion, and the staff accommodated our needs superbly. Even allowing us an appropriate space and re-arranging the tables to suit our particular requests. Food was top quality and great portions! Recommend 5/5.

4 Star Review by Nick

Nice old school pub with a decent range of craft beers in a lovely part of Balmain. We went for the Sunday roast which unfortunately was average at best. We tried 3 different meats, and although the portion size was decent they tasted bland. The vegetables were rock hard.. not sure how you mess up roast potatoes! Will definitely go back for a drink, but we will go to one of the many other pubs in Balmain for a roast next time.

5 Star Review by Julianne Howells

Had a casual baby shower on a Saturday and the staff were incredibly helpful and accomodatingreserving the front bar and courtyard space for us as the weather was on and off raining. The whole process was simple and the food was great (grazing platter and canapes). Highly recommend!
