What guests say
3.8 / 5 from 873 Google reviewsTo me, this place is a pub. It is spacious and has big windows. So it is light and it has good views. It has alot of fruit machines and it also has a rooftop area. It is very relaxed and quiet. There is a bar up there, but when I went, it wasn't open. Fair, as there were only 4 people up there.
A classic basic Australian pub within close proximity to Central Train Station. Great to meet mates if you're heading off to the sport, a good rendezvous location. Bar staff were friendly, drinks were affordable. What else can you ask for?
So we came here before the cricket match for some food and drink - great call. Historic pub within stumbling distance to the train and the pitch! There is a open bar downstairs with plenty of seating with televisions providing highlights of various sporting events. Upstairs provides a birds eye view of the area in an open air type of environment. Very nice - will come again.
Great pub, reasonable prices. Always has the AFL on without fail. It has become my go to to have something to eat or drink while watching the AFL.
Just located next to Central station in Sydney and light rail, so convenient access to the everywhere in the City. It's under repair and upgrade, top level already completed, double glased windows so quite no noise, air conditioned, clean, it is located on top of a bar.
