The Verandah Bar & Bistro reviews
4 Star Review by Robbie L
Situated near Martin Place, this venue offers pub style food and drinks at a competitive price. The venue is decked with plants and great decor. It gets busy during lunch times and has a great vibe to it. Highly recommended!
4 Star Review by Mary
Light and airy I ordered my favourite which is salmon and it was well cooked. The meal isnt for when you are hungry - so it sort of worked . The crispy , well flavoured Salmon tasted good . Went back again but to the Verandah Bistro and the stake was great
5 Star Review by Rebecca C
Went to a function held at verandah bar and I have to say the food we had was good. I don't expect much from bars but was pleasantly surprised. The pizzas are delicious. Flat style of pizzas, seafood and plain cheese & basil & tomato were my favourites (the feta & pumpkin not so much). Would definitely go back.

A good spot for lunch with colleagues. Good pub option. Decent chicken schnitzel $24.

A conveniently located establishment within the Sydney CBD. If you are looking for a watering hole with good service, a range of standard drinks, and good decor and ambiance, this bar certainly hits the mark. If you are looking for a wide range of craft beers, you need to go elsewhere. Drinks prices are certainly at Sydney CBD inflated prices.
