5 Star Review by Hamish Brass
What an amazing pub. Came here yesterday with a big group for dinner and drinks, Dee and the rest of the staff were so accommodating. Fine dining quality dishes at pub prices and in a pub enviroment. I couldn't recommend this place highly enough. :)
5 Star Review by Mario Gudelj
Hands down, their OG burger is the best burger in town. The meat in it is on another level. The staff are awesome and the outdoor area is like no other in Sydney. I love this place.

Surprise find! Lovely pub in Ultimo. If I lived here I would be here every night. Great food. Super friendly staff and patrons
5 Star Review by Mashaba Ali
This is a review just for the pub as I didn't stay on site. We went on Saturday and sat outside in the little open courtyard area as we had a dog. It wasn't too busy and it seemed like they were preparing for a busy night ahead. We ordered at 2:30pm and received our food in 20 mins. We got the arancini (4 large ones on a plate with aioli and squid ink), along with the TLC and the OG burgers. Everything was fresh and delicious. The staff were also so friendly, nearly every one of them came and spoke to us and played with our dog. They even turned the outdoor heater on for us as it was a bit cold in the shade of the trees (early June). Would definitely visit again!

Very cute local pub, cheap beer and a very warm atmosphere. Grab a pint and sit in the grassed area for a very relaxing experience.
