The Harold reviews
5 Star Review by Scott Pankhurst
Amazing venue with amazing staff. I have no bad words to say about them. Held weekly events there for over a year and have never had an issue. I highly recommend for an easy dinner or if you're wanting to hold an event in their function area.
3 Star Review by pat galligan
Great pub, but the new decor suits a wake or a funeral. Or some sort of cult. Wonder what Gordon Ramsay would say about blocking out the light like this. Edit in lieu of reply: Please confirm that staff are allowed to touch the curtains. They were warned that ownership forbid them to operate the curtains. If you could provide an in service on this complex operation as we go toward the longer days in summer this would be appreciated for our Wednesday night wakes.
5 Star Review by Amy Joscelyne
At very late notice we had to move our outdoor wedding ceremony indoors due to rain, and Jason, the licensee, went above and beyond to accommodate us. He arranged the furniture in the upstairs space so all we had to do was show up and decorate. Everything was perfect and I cant thank him enough. Jason is truly meant for hospitality because he was so obliging and accommodating and turned a stressful time into the best possible outcome. Forever indebted. I highly recommend hosting your next event at the Harold, Jason and team were an absolute dream to work with.
4 Star Review by Anna Wensley
Ive alway really liked this pub. Friendly staff, clean venue and nice atmosphere. I used to really love their vegan bowl (it was amazing!) but now Ive come back to see the menu has changed to have no vegan dinner options. Im a bit disappointed there isnt a vegan main option especially in a place like the inner west Otherwise a great pub

Nice place and acceptable price. Food is ... Lets say the chief doesn't care about what you want and cooks what he wants instead.

Stopped by for a vino with my pup and enjoyed some time out in the courtyard. Friendly, helpful staff who even filled a dog bowl for Max . Pity there were no lights in the courtyard after dark.
