Union Hotel NEWTOWN reviews
4 Star Review by Gary Daly
Visiting a friend for an hour or so and decided to nip into the Union Hotel for a couple of cold beers and an early lunch. Situated in a busy hub of inner city activity. Loads of traffic but off street parking away from the Main Street and also public transport make it accessible and easy to get to from anywhere and everywhere. Beer prices match most if not all inner city pubs and the chicken wings with hot sauce was very well made and delicious. Pricy but again theres the option not to eat. So you get what you want when you ask for it. Pool tables and lots of seating with booths, table top square for foursomes and raised round bar tables and barstools for singles and or couples. Union Hotel wasnt busy but enough trade to give it a nice calm inner city vibe. Outside is a semi-covered area for drinking, smoking and vaping. There is also an extended dining area as well as well as a pokies area just off to the right of the main bar. Pleasant, clean with easy going and friendly staff with a selection of traditional good pub food including a diverse beer selection.

Below average food... We got the schnitzel which looked like the frozen option from woolworths and the southern fried chicken burger was very dissapointing. The beer was good though

Had such fun on trivia night! Questions were quite tricky especially for people in there 20's lots of 60's, 70's and 80's questions but it was still really fun and the quiz master made sure it was a good time! Definitely coming back!
5 Star Review by James Cocking
Possibly the best craft beer in Sydney. The decor is a little so so but the chairs are comfy, plenty of space and the bar team super friendly. Their tap list is extremely fresh with some of the most hype beers in Australia reguarly appearing, with very fair prices to match.

It is a nice hotel, it is very big. Here I met a group of girls to eat, I had a great time, the food was delicious.
