East Sydney Hotel reviews
4 Star Review by constanza de la barra
Happy to support a Family owned hotel. I stayed here for a few nights and it was really nice considering the price, felt as home actually. There are 3 toilets and 2 showers at the floor i was staying but never had to wait for neither of them. The place was a bit noisy but there's nothing to do with that! They allowed me to stay a few hours behind the check out time which was really nice of them. I would come back!

Love going to local pubs to try their food so dropped in here today for lunch. The service was awesome, very friendly, 5 stars but the food was shocking! I ordered the fish finger burger which came with fries and what I got was 2 fried miniature fingers, half a lettuce leaf and the bun. It was terrible!

Great vintage pub and hotel. Stayed upstairs the owner Sam is a such a nice bloke, super friendly staff and so affordable considering the perfect location. If you are on foot and trying to see the best of CBD you can't go wrong. Will be back!

Was excited for the Sunday roast which on all signage in the pub and online says its available from 12pm only to find it didnt start till 7. Ordered standard pub grub and it was standard at best - certainly overpriced for the quality. Cute bar out front but dont go there for the food.
5 Star Review by Cambo Ford
Great little pub without pokies and just a short walk from the CBD. Opened in 1856 as The Shamrock Hotel it's been historically renovated. I haven't tried the food but other reviews say it's good. Just a breath of fresh air so close to the city.

An old favourite, cosy, friendly and lovely food. An institution in East Sydney, always worth a visit when a local pub is the right venue.
4 Star Review by Todd Keenan
My son and I visit here regularly after a museum trip. He loves the chicken schnitzel and me the halloumi fries. Oh and I also like the beer selection and old fashioned pints in handles. Been coming here for years, and its still a grand old fashionable Aussie pub. Recommend.
