Most tables in bistro room were booked by groups who really just wanted a seat. They were loud, swearing and didn’t eat. Maybe in this room it should be table service so this doesn’t happen or they have to be seated outside

We went early on a Saturday night and the place was bouncing with a guitarist in the main bar and patrons in full voice. It was hard to have a conversation even in a side room but the music was fantastic so we put up with it. The food was excellent (especially the Shamrock Pie), service was fantastic and prices were competitive!

This Irish pub has the feel that it is very much loved by the locals. Great vibe especially with the live music. Definitely worth adding it to our list of places to visit while in Sydney.

Food was good. Substantial portions, hot and tasty. Just a shame that apart from delivering food no interaction with staff. All drinks and food had to be ordered on app. Would not even give us water had to fight through main bar to get it. Not canteen prices, advertised as a bistro. At least put bottles of water and glasses on table especially when pre booked.

A very enjoyable day. I just with the Irish band played more Irish rather than contemporary music that would have added t the atmosphere. But very enjoyable Mothers Day. Thank you

Great venue, friendly, jovial atmosphere. Food was lovely, an Irish take on pub grub. If you visit when live bands are performing the Bistro and Bar areas can get very loud so may not suit all customers. I guess the true test of a Hotel is if you would return again? Happy to say I already have and intend to do so again.

Great meals and service. Either sit inside the old historic pub or out on the sidewalk and enjoy an Irish beer (or Aussie wine) with the best sweet potato fries I've ever had! The schnitzel and calamari we shared were cooked to perfection.
