Ship Inn reviews

5 Star Review by Luke Murphy

Sneaky stout on a winters afternoon Ride home Good location close to Circular Quay. Very historical part of Sydney. Great to watch the passing parade. Tables on the concourse are comfortable on a sunny winters afternoon. Not my usual type of venue but on the day

1 Star Review by Shane D (Square One)

Asked the bar what the starting price for the pizza is and she said its a large. This is what you get for $20 and its not large. Female bar manager unapologetic, poor food and service dont recommend.

5 Star Review by Jackie Erat

Simple place, but delicious food. Probably one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever eaten in my life. Everyone was commenting how great their dish was, so the whole menu seems to be good. I'd recommend them and I'll sure be returning.

5 Star Review by Damian Kay

The new (ish) manager has introduced a great range of independent craft beer and it is awesome. Certainly a better run venue now. Super friendly and knows his stuff. Can't recommend enough. We have already been back and will again
