Hotel Sweeney's reviews
4 Star Review by Chris
Unsuspecting old style pub down stairs, but fantastic little rooftop all the way up the top of the stairs. Note there is no lift so be willing to take a few flights of stairs to get up there. When we were there they had some great tunes playing, misters going to cool you off and umbrellas for shade. They also had a sausage sizzle which was awesome too! Also note that upstairs they only have craft beers, so if you're after a classic then def grab one on your way up, it's quite a few stairs back down otherwise...
4 Star Review by Bartholomew Tan
Interesting pub with different sort of vibes/ambience on different floors. Used to be really dingy but looks like theyve had a facelift. Theyve got your typical local type of sports bar/pub, an old school leather cushion/seat vibe floor and the rooftop. Slightly pricey but pretty fair given the prime location and the variety. Had a schooner of Hope Passionfruit Sour for $10 during happy hour. They also tap some pretty sick beers occasionally from breweries around the world i.e Verdant, Deya, Cloudwater, etc.
5 Star Review by Dante Mariotto
Unreal atmosphere and aesthetic on the Rooftop, quite a few stairs if you struggle several levels but is worth it. One of the best schnitty's in the city only wish there was more gravy with it. Really massiverange of beer on tap suiting anyones needs. Great views and vibe, will be coming back

It's all about the company you keep. The venue is a nice place to be with friends. If you don't have any friends, you could probably make some here. If you only have enemies, bring them here for a drink and maybe you will end up with a friend. There are some good beers at the rooftop bar, it is a bit Smokey up there since that is the thing people still do. The Thai food is pretty average at the food place on the second level. All in all it's an alright venue.

I'm a fan of laid back pubs, especially if they have a roof top and a happy hour - and are in the middle of the city! This time I dropped in for lunch to meet an old friend. We grabbed some noodles (pad Thai and pad see ew), portions were good and were tasty. I have been on a Friday afternoons - and it's been hard to get a table as others have pre booked. Also, lots of stairs to get up to the rooftop and the levels to get there - if you have mobility issues, perhaps call and check if there is a lift.
