Welcome Hotel reviews
5 Star Review by Daniel Santamaria
Outstanding pub and kitchen. The food is top shelf, with a limited but well selected range of craft beers on tap. If you stopped going because of the below par food back around mid 2019, you need to go back, the kitchen is completely transformed. The Sunday roast is also incredible. Dog friendly, which is a huge plus too. Love this place.
4 Star Review by Louise Dolan
Good vibes and dog friendly? Woweee it sure lives up to its name. Brought one of the dogs and he had a great time planting himself in front of locals and making them pay a pet me please toll. Also I ordered the bangers and mash with onion gravy, a little pricey but it was filling and was a good pub feed!
5 Star Review by Rod Bruce
What a perfect name for such a welcoming pub. I walked in a moment after last drinks had been called (for my first visit) after a nearby dinner, to catch the last overs of the cricket. 99% of pubs would have said sorry, were done. After all, it was 9:30pm on a Sunday. However, Kylie and Rosie went above and beyond when it came to service. Had me in for a beer with the cricket on tv. Super friendly; it felt like a nice lounge room (only with clean, local beer on tap). Authentic pub, just how everybody likes it. Despite the time of day/week they were kind to give me the history and were enthusiastic in doing so. My only regret is that I havent yet joined for Sunday roast but now that I know about this, Ill be back soonest for that. The Welcome indeed. Long live! Thanks for having me and being so hospitable. A credit to the venue and the wider industry as a whole. See you again! Five stars.

A delightful Father's Day lunch with the family. Famiky members ate hamburgers, the Daddy special, some had gnocchi. All delicious. The only down side was the coffee machine wasn't working! Good value and service.
5 Star Review by James Gonczi
Still the best pub in Balmain/Rozelle. There are closer pubs to where I live, but it remains my local. Best selection of tap beers bar none, with good food and a great beer garden. Book a table on the weekend as it fills up.
