The Duck Inn Pub and Kitchen reviews
5 Star Review by Matt Osborne
Amazing selection of great pub food and boutique beers on tap. The food and service was excellent!
4 Star Review by Bruno RodrÃguez Armesto
The pub is correct, if overpriced. We were there with a big group and they had a couple of waiters learning the ropes. The guy didn't seem to have much experience, so maybe he could have been nicer? The sausages with smash looked great, the gnocchi looked quite sad and small for the price and the chucked parmi was ok. It was raining but the place would probably be lovely outside on a sunny day.
4 Star Review by Lee S
Family and dog friendly - so we took the kids and dog for lunch. Good selection of beers to choose from with friendly service. Kids meals were a good size and all the meals were fairly well presented, well cooked and tasted ok. Nothing was amazing but overall a decent vibe and place to hang out for a while and grab a bite with the family
4 Star Review by Sarah charles (Thewhereto)
The Duck Inn Pub and Kitchen for us was a hidden gem. We were scouring google one rainy Friday night in search of a steak and also somewhere dog friendly and stumbled across this. In the back streets of Chippendale, this place looks like your typical heritage pub and inside reminds us of an English one, compete with high benches and leather couches. Theres also outdoor section at the rear of the pub that can certainly host a crowd. It felt warm inside with its atmosphere and a good crowd of an older demographic. We also love that the pub is dog friendly, in fact a well behaved dog even sat on a couch. It would be great to be able to purchase doggie snacks. Their seasonal menu has great food. We had a nicely cooked steak with veggies as well as one of their poke salads. We did find the food was quite slow to come out, however. As we saw other food passing by, we were impressed by some of the other options like their Prawn linguine, crispy pork and pan fried salmon and keen to try those. It is a pub so its hardly surprising that there is a great selection of craft beers and beers on tap including tasting paddles which makes for a great way to try a range of varieties. Plenty of wine one and spirits too. Overall, we enjoyed our experience here.

Awesome place for dinner especially after a performance at the Seymour centre. Kitchen was open till 9pm on the Tuesday night we were there. Mushroom burger was very tasty and the steak was Cooked well. Fish and chips were crispy and filling. I loved th large selection of beers, I really enjoyed my beerfarm hazy IPA.

Unfortunately it seems like new owners have not only ruined the vibe of the place, but it's very obvious they've employed staff who have never worked in hospitality before. Shame. Loved this pub.

Havent been in many years and visited yesterday, very different place to how it used to be. The food is fine, but not the kind of glorious victuals of old. Chips arent salty enough and feel a little bit supermarket. The steak is pass. The atmosphere is so different to the old days: I realise I shouldnt rate a place based on what it once was, but it was once my favourite pub in Sydney and a lot of the magic is gone, replaced by plastic awning and tightly packed tables. The staff are really friendly, which is nice. I think with a stronger menu, greater variety, and better food it could be something different and new. But for now, youre probably better off walking to The Rose.
1 Star Review by Ben Warrington
Booked 3 weeks out for a group of 7 and the pub emails me 3 days before the event and tells me they are fully booked out, they dont even give me an option to change the time or accommodate me in anyway, I will never go back to this Pub and will never recommend it to any of my friends or family, infact I will go out of my way to tell people this story.
2 Star Review by Ian Hird
Very disappointing experience in all levels So many nice memories of meals here and esp when heading on to Seymour Centre for a show but our latest exp will be our last Booking via the app accepted then cancelled by email without explanation phone call revealed the app accepted booking when there was no availability. Told we could have a tabled booked in the Beer Harden. Arrived to realize that Beer Harden was free seating and we had no booking. General confusion and chaos by bar/reception staff we were finally offered a table menu is very limited compared to the good old days (has there been a change of owner or post Covid calamity?) and the food very ordinary. Duck confit not recognizable as such and Duck Inn chicken salad swamped by tart mustard sauce For the price paid there is better value locally and sadly, too many memories of past meals enjoyed here to entice us back
