Arts Bar reviews
4 Star Review by Silent K
Good beer. Happy Hour should be 5-7 not 4-6. But quiet. No loud music or gambling. Food used to be small serves but may have changed. Just havent been game to eat there again after conflict over minuscule fish and chips a year ago.
5 Star Review by Kyla Hrdlitschka
Had a bit of a mishap at this place one night (these things happen) but the manager, Ben, handled it with great care and vigilance. We were invited back for drinks and food and the experience we had was amazing. Great variety of beers on tap and good wine selection. The food was top notch! Steaks were cooked perfectly and the meat pie was one of the best I have ever seen! Staff were also attentive and lovely to interact with. Would highly recommend this place. - Kyla, Nat, Ryan, Aeron

Love this little pub. Still in original condition which is hard to come by now in Sydney with all the "boutique" hotels popping up but this little gem still manages a happy hour and tasty food. Can recommend their Thai Tuesday and a movie at the Verona just meters away. Staff are always friendly.
5 Star Review by anthony cook
My favourite pub in Paddington: no pokies, no TAB, no blaring TVs. Excellent bar food and weekend seafood specials are not to be missed. Friendly and efficient bar staff serve a great range of wine and beer to an eclectic clientele. Well worth a visit.
5 Star Review by Sydboy
Spacious and a great local pub to settle into. Oxford st can be bewildering so this space is a nice change to relax by the fireplace and chat with the friendly locals. Ben the manager creates a unique vibe and always has great recommendations for the bistro to the bar.
