Glenmore Hotel reviews
5 Star Review by David Tran
Food was surprisingly delicious. Great view on the rooftop floor featuring a bar with plenty of alcohol. Staff are polite and respectful. Overall a great place for work Christmas parties and functions, or just a night out with friends. The rooftop level is usually booked out for dinner so its best to call and book a table first for your group.
5 Star Review by MC 101
The view from rooftop bar is amazing but its hard to find a table most of the time. Food isnt bad with a wide variety. I had their burger. Pretty well cooked. Middle floor has some private rooms for a more private evening. My friend said they like their cocktails.
4 Star Review by Remco Jonker
Had dinner on the rooftop with great views of Sydney. Menu has the usual pub food fare. Order at the bar, food was served quite quickly. Food quality and taste was fine. Servings average size. Relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff.
4 Star Review by Nikki Vasiliadis
The Glenmore Hotel is known for its rooftop views of Circular Quay and the Opera House. Be sure to book ahead and request a table with these views as some of the rooftop tables overlook Cumberland Street. Food is the typical pub menu with steaks, burgers and schnitzel all featuring on the menu. I ordered the schnitzel and it was pretty good. Generous portion size and reasonable pub prices, especially considering the location. Soft drinks are also pretty reasonable at $3 each. There are various options for seating including outdoor on street level as well as inside and private dining options for occasions. The pub has maintained all its historical charm. Its perfect for visitors to Sydney as well.
5 Star Review by Eddy S Dharmadji
A nice old pub in the historic Rocks area. The service is excellent and the view is magnificent. It was our first visit for a birthday celebration and I can't fault the service provided. Plenty of seating areas both indoor and outdoor. Overall, a great pit stop while exploring the area or on the way to the theatre nearby.
