The Unicorn Hotel Paddington reviews
5 Star Review by Dante Mariotto
Not the best Schnitty in Sydney, I put it outside my top 5. It is good, but is a bit too crumby and for the price it is the most expensive and you don't even get greens/veg. The Parmi is much better one of the best I've had and the separate side salad is really good. The atmosphere is great here and lots of space, really nice staff too. Just expensive for a pub and the schnitty doesn't live up to the claim.
4 Star Review by Kitchen Insider
The Mary's fellas took over this pub when it was back in distress. Gone were its 80s 90s hay days, when you'd have to be as popular as Usain Bolt to get through the door. It's pretty popular now, and the team there were busy and competent...and friendly..not something you can rely upon, where good staff are harder to find than a bacon sarny at a bar mitzvah. The home lager is a good sub for the sold-out reschs. The parmy is certainly not hiding. The addition of the wing is welcome, the ham bits are...bits of ham. The sauce and cheese play their role. The chips may be on-trend, but not on point. This is a good, reliable place. It's not a cheap eat, or a great eat. It's reliable and very full priced.

The Unicorn is an extremely comfortable hotel with a relaxed vibe and great indoor and outdoor seating options. The food is very good and they have an excellent range of beers on tap with regular rotation of exciting craft varieties. Above all the staff are incredible, interpersonal and welcoming. Manager Chris is a very funny dude with a sharp wit but he also understands how to deliver impeccable customer service and satisfaction. Do yourself a favour, grab a group, go to the Unicorn and have yourselves a mythical night!

Best Schnitty in Sydney and a great vibe for a beer after a Swans game! An Oxford street staple thats right next to Indian home diner, has friendly staff and cold beer
2 Star Review by Christine Nazareth
Only two bar staff and very few cooks in the kitchen. Took at least two hours to get our food to the table. When my friend told the waiter that he did not receive his food, he was told: you have already eaten. This happened Infront of everyone and the waiter dint apologise either. Would not recommend this place.

This place has the worst security in history. Highly recommend anywhere else but this place in Surry Hills.

Schnitzels looked good. $50 steak was ridiculously salty, on the verge of inedible. A little more attention to detail would be nice for that price point.
